It already is. Air is about 4/5ths nitrogen and about 1/5th oxygen (and about 1% "other stuff"). The current ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in air is about 4:1 as you can see.

What are the troposphere gases from most abundant to least abundant?
The main atmospheric gases in the troposphere are: nitrogen(76-79%), oxygen (24-21%), and carbon dioxide (0.03%).
What are the 4 gases found in the atmosphere?
There are more than four gases in air but the four most abundant are nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. There are others in smaller quantities, e.g. hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, methane.
Molecules of hydrogen escape from earth but molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are held to the surface why?
Molecules of Hydrogen are less dense than oxygen and nitrogen so gravity keeps the oxygen and nitrogen inside the atmosphere.
Why is nitrogen far less reactive the oxygen?
Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons, whereas oxygen only needs to gain two which is more energetically favorable.
How abundant is tin?
Less than 5%. Surprisingly, oxygen and silicon make up close to 75% of the lithosphere (crust).
What are the troposphere gases from most abundant to least abundant?
The main atmospheric gases in the troposphere are: nitrogen(76-79%), oxygen (24-21%), and carbon dioxide (0.03%).
What are the four most abundant gases in the Earths atmosphere in order from abundant to least abundant?
These gases are: nitrogen (78,084 %), oxygen (20,9476 %), argon (0,934 %), carbon dioxide (0,0314).
What are the troposhere gases from most abundant to least abundant?
The gases that make up the troposphere are: Nitrogen 78% Oxygen 21% Argon 1% Carbon Dioxide 0.03% Other gases less than 1%
How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
What is the least abundant element in the human body?
Thulium and Lutetium.
What are the 4 gases found in the atmosphere?
There are more than four gases in air but the four most abundant are nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. There are others in smaller quantities, e.g. hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, methane.
Does silicate make up more or less than half of the mass of the crust?
it makes up more than hald because oxygen is the most abundant on our lithosphere and next is silicon following by nitrogen
How much of the air is oxygen?
Oxygen makes up about 20% of the atmosphere and is the second most abundant element in the air. Nitrogen is the most abundant component at roughly 78%. Water (H2O) makes up roughly 2 - 4%. The rest are trace gases of less than 1%.
Molecules of hydrogen escape from earth but molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are held to the surface why?
Molecules of Hydrogen are less dense than oxygen and nitrogen so gravity keeps the oxygen and nitrogen inside the atmosphere.
What gas is almost four times less than nitrogen?
oxygen
Can you dive deeper on oxygen?
Yes. Because you are breathing in less nitrogen therefore less nitrogen can be dissolved into your blood. I think the average is 34% oxygen (Compared to the normal 21%) however 100% burns your lungs.
Is calcium the most abundant in the earth's crust?
No, oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Calcium is less than a tenth as abundant by mass; since it's more than twice as massive as oxygen, that means there are well over twenty oxygen atoms for every calcium atom.
