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.


What is the difference between sulfate and sulphites?

Aside from the difference between American and British spelling and the singular and plural, sulfate ions have the formula SO4-2 and sulphite ions have the formula SO3-2. Chemically, then, the difference is one oxygen atom per ion.


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 equilibrium of 6H2O plus 6CO2- C6H12O6 plus 6O2?

That is a somewhat odd question, even aside from the fact that you & I can't do proper subscripts as chemical notation requires. To translate the formulae into names, you are asking about the equilibrium state of water, carbon dioxide, sugar, and oxygen. These chemicals can co-exist in any concentration; they do not necessarily react with eachother, except at high temperature when the sugar and the oxygen will combine.

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.

Does ozone lead to the formation of acid rain?

No. Ozone is unstable, and it is formed from oxygen in the following reaction: 3O2 <=> 2O3 Note that the arrow goes both ways. That means that as ozone forms, it will revert (other reactions aside) into the oxygen it created after a short while. But in no case does it cause acid precipitation.


Why is Jupiter's atmosphere deadly?

Aside frm the deadly radiation generated ROM within, Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of deadly gasses such as ammonia. Imagine a cat litter box a month ripe, and there were no oxygen, only the ammonia, and on top of that the fetid breeze blowing at hundreds of miles per hour. That's why its deadly.


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.
