If you are asking whether nitrogen is less dense than air and will float on top of it, then yes, nitrogen is "lighter," albeit only slightly. More accurately, nitrogen, which is a constituent gas of air, is less dense than air, not lighter. The density of air at standard temperature and pressure is 1.292 kg/m3. The density of nitrogen is 1.251 kg/m3.
What else can I help you with?
How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
What percentage of hydrogen is lighter than air?
100% of hydrogen is lighter than air
Why is moist air associated with low air pressure?
Warm, moist, humid, air associated with a low pressure system is actually lighter than dry air - owing to the fact that hydrogen molecules in water vapor (H20) are lighter than Oxygen or Nitrogen molecules. This moist air rises - causing air pressure to be relatively low compared to surrounding air.
When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air?
Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.
Why does the helium balloon rise while the ordinary air failed?
Helium is a very light compound. Air consists out of 21 % oxygen gas, 78% nitrogen gas and 1% other gases (such as argon and other noble gases) in general. As we know, wood floats on water because it is lighter per volume. For helium, the same rule counts. Helium is lighter than oxygen and nitrogen.
What happens when water vapor is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen?
Water vapor is a gas so it is in the air. Nitrogen and nitrogen are in the air too, but there is more nitrogen than anything in the air. I believe it rises because it is lighter, like a balloon filled with helium.
Why is nitrogen heavier than air?
No. The atmosphere is roughly 80% N2, 20% O2, and about 1% of other trace gases. The molecular mass of N2 is about 28, the molecular mass of O2 is about 32. So, no O2 is not lighter than air, it is slightly heavier.
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen. The atomic weight of nitrogen is approximately 14, while the atomic weight of oxygen is approximately 16.
The air we breathe is mostly a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen in the air is four times greater than the amount of oxygen which of these two elements is the lighter?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen. Nitrogen gas (N2) has a molar mass of 28.02 g/mol, while oxygen gas (O2) has a molar mass of 32.00 g/mol. Since nitrogen is lighter, it makes up a larger portion of the atmosphere.
Is air lighter than heluim?
The composition of Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. All of these elements are denser than helium, and therefore it tends to rise.
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Is ozone lighter than air?
Yes, ozone is lighter than air.
How many times lighter is hydrogen than air?
HYDROGN IS 14 TIMES LIGHTER THAN AIR.
What percentage of hydrogen is lighter than air?
100% of hydrogen is lighter than air
Is methane lighter than air?
Yes methane is lighter than air because it is less dense than air.
