Can you separate the air constituents by chemical means or physical means?

Air constituents can be separated by physical means, such as fractional distillation, where the different components of air have different boiling points and can be collected as liquids at different temperatures. Chemical means can be used to separate air constituents if a specific chemical reaction can be utilized to selectively react with one component while leaving others unchanged, such as using a chemical absorber to remove carbon dioxide from air.

What is the boiling point of pure air?

Air is a mixture of gases which also contains particulates. The particulates can be filtered out but the remainder is still a mixture. There is, therefore, no such thing as pure air. The boiling point of any mixture depends on the relative quantities of its constituents.

Is pure air a homogenous or heterogenous mixture?

Yes. Pure air is a homogenous mixture. Air is a mixture of various kinds of gases. A mixture is said to be homogenous when all its constituents are in phase. Example, a mixture of water & milk is a homogenous mixture, as water & milk both are liquids & are in phase. Same is the case with pure air. All the constituents gases of pure air are in phase with each other. Hence its a homogenous mixture.
