Aside from Oxygen and Nitrogen, which make up roughly 99% of the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is comprised of approximately 0.93% argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide. The remaining 0.032% is a mixture of other gasses in relatively minuscule amounts.

Is water present in air?

Aside from bubbles, there is no "air" in water, however oxygen and other atmospheric gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, may readily absorb into water. Water is after all made up of two atmospheric gases, hydrogen and oxygen.


Where do the nitrogen oxide and sulphar dioxide in acid rain come from syk d?

Sulfur dioxide is created by the combustion of sulfur, sulfurous fuels (bunker oils, coal), the smelting of sulfide containing ores (pyrites) and hydrogen sulfide (usually as a waste/safety process). Sulfer can also be emitted from diesel engines as a sulfate solid. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) result from any combustion process where air and fuel are burned at the correct temperatures, the use of nitic acid in plan processes, fertilizer manufacturng and from lightning heating the air. As an aside the sulfur in acid precipitation is in the form of H2SO3. In the same way the NOx compounds form assorted nitrogen acids.


What is the amount of fluid pushed aside by an object called?

The amount of fluid pushed aside by an object is called the displacement of the fluid. It is equal to the volume of the object when it is immersed in the fluid.


How is carbon extracted from the atmosphere?

Usually it can only be made by intense nuclear reactions. Often these reactions occur in dying stars. Two atoms of Helium-4 combine to make berylium-8. Before it spontaneously decays it must combine with another helium atom to form carbon-12 - a stable isotope. Aside from that, carbon cannot be 'made' on Earth. Existing carbon can only be extracted.


Do rainbows affect earth?

A rainbow is merely the result of the refraction of light through water. It has no effect on anything, aside from being kind of pretty to look at. Perhaps if your eyes are particularly sensitive you may experience retinal damage, but that would be very unusual.

The gases in your atmosphere aside from the oxygen and nitrogen make up about what percentage of air?

Oxygen and nitrogen are the two most abundant gases in the atmosphere. They make up 99% of the air.


Is the level of carbon dioxide changed by altitude?

Carbon dioxide is heavier than nitrogen (N2) or oxygen (O2), the primary constituents of our atmosphere (75% and 20%, approximately). But wind does a fairly thorough job of mixing the CO2 in the lower atmosphere, lofting it into the upper atmosphere. As an aside, CO2 will collect in cave depressions, such that people venturing into caves or old mine cavities are subject to asphyxiation.


Could humans live on uranus if there were air?

No. Uranus does have an atmosphere, but not one we could breath; it is mostly hydrogen and helium with no free oxygen. Even aside from that, Uranus is too cold and there is no surface to stand on.


Is there any oxygen on moon?

The Moon has an extremely thin atmosphere. It's about what you could get with a good roughing pump (forepump, rotary pump) in an Earth laboratory. However, it's not much like Earth's atmosphere at all, and in fact contains significant quantities of things like sodium (again, remembering that we're still talking about a pretty good vacuum here).So, for practical purposes: no, there is no air on the Moon.That's right, there's no air on the moon.

The maximum percentage of net spendable income that should be set aside for housing is 38 percent. It is important to choose housing that you will be able to afford to pay for each month.


Can there ever be a diatomic compound?

Yes, diatomic refers to a molecule comprising of two atoms. Thus nitrogen gas (N2), oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) are all diatomic. These compounds can also be made up of different elements. Acid-base chemistry aside, hydroflouric acid (HF) and hydrochloride acid (HCl) are also diatomic
