Air is composed of a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%), along with smaller amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases. In total, air contains hundreds of different substances, including water vapor, pollutants, and other trace elements. The exact number of substances can vary based on location, altitude, and environmental conditions.
The branch of chemistry involved in determining the amount of nitrogen in a sample of air is called analytical chemistry. This field focuses on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances, using various techniques to identify and measure chemical components. Methods such as gas chromatography or mass spectrometry may be employed to analyze the composition of air samples.
An air freshener is a mixture of many chemical substances, so there is no definitive chemical structure for an air freshener.
A stain is the result of an interaction between substances.
A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample you are observing is large or small.
Yes, a homogeneous mixture is well mixed, meaning that its components are uniformly distributed throughout. In such a mixture, the individual substances cannot be easily distinguished from one another, and any sample taken from the mixture will have the same composition as any other sample. Examples include saltwater and air.
Feathers are lightweight and have a large surface area, which can trap air and make them appear heavier compared to denser substances with the same weight. This is due to the buoyancy of air and the presence of trapped air pockets within the feathers, which can add to their overall apparent weight.
chemical change
- place a sample in a refrigerator- place a sample in liquid nitrogen
chemical properties can be observed only when the substances in a sample of matter are changing into different substances
