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 troposphere gases, from most abundant to least abundant, are nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), water vapor (H2O), argon (Ar), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen about 21%, and the others in trace amounts.


What are the four most abundant gases in the Earths atmosphere in order from abundant to least abundant?

How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?

Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.


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%


What percentage of hydrogen is in the atmosphere?

Hydrogen makes up about 0.000055% of Earth's atmosphere. It is much less abundant compared to other gases like nitrogen and oxygen.


Does the atmosphere contain hydrogen gas?

Yes, the atmosphere contains trace amounts of hydrogen gas, but it is primarily composed of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). Hydrogen gas is much less abundant in the atmosphere compared to nitrogen and oxygen.


Why does air have more nitrogen than oxygen?

Air has more nitrogen (about 78%) than oxygen (about 21%) because nitrogen is less reactive and more abundant in the Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is a stable gas and doesn't easily react with other elements, making it a major component of air. Oxygen levels are sufficient for supporting life, but nitrogen's abundance and stability have led to its higher concentration.


Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?

oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen


Hematite is composed of oxygen and what element that is less abuyndant than aluminum but more abundant than calcium?

Hematite is composed of oxygen and iron, which is less abundant than aluminum but more abundant than calcium in Earth's crust.


What are the 4 gases that make up earths atmosphere?

The four most abundant gases in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen around 21%, argon about 0.9%, and carbon dioxide less than 0.04%.


What is the largest amount of gas in the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is primarily composed of Nitrogen (N2), which accounts for 78%. Oxygen follows, accounting for 20% of its volume, with argon less than 1%. The remainder is composed of particulates and trace gases, including water vapor.


Why is there more nitrogen in the atmosphere than oxygen?

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere compared to about 21% oxygen. This difference is due to the way these gases were trapped during Earth's formation and the chemical reactions that have taken place over billions of years. Nitrogen is less reactive than oxygen, so it has remained more abundant in our atmosphere.
