Compressed medical air is not considered an inert gas. It is a mixture of gases, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, that is used for medical purposes to provide oxygen therapy to patients. Inert gases, like helium or argon, do not readily react with other substances.
Inert gases, such as nitrogen or argon, are typically extracted from the air using a process called fractional distillation. This process involves cooling and compressing air to separate its components based on their boiling points. Inert gases have higher boiling points than other gases in the air, allowing them to be collected in their pure form.
The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen,argon, carbon dioxide, and other gases
argon -------------------------------------------- Any of the elements in column 18 of the Periodic Table, plus gasses made form some compounds (eg CO2) and some nonreactive gases such as Nitrogen could be considered as inert.
When a volcano erupts, it releases many gasses into the air, but most of it is water vapor. Other gasses include CO2 and hydrogen. Also an interesting side note, if you Google "volcanic lightning" you will see that the lightning produced by volcanoes is a different color than regular lightning. This is because lightning is produced within the different gasses (other than oxygen, which is blue lightning).
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.
In the air around us there is 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gasses
Electric bulbs do have the inert gasses inside and not oxygen to avoid explosions.
A colorless element that is one of the six inert gasses; occurs in trace amounts in air
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.
Air is a mixture of several gasses... 78% Nitrogen. 21% Oxygen. The final 1% is a mix of other gases including the "Inert Gases", and about 0.04% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Air also carries dust, pollen, and can carry viruses and bacteria.
Actually, Neon is one of the Noble Gasses, which are also known as the Inert Gasses, that make up the far right column of the periodic table. This family of gasses include Helium, Argon and even Radon. These gasses are called inert because they can't react with any other substance. This is because they already have eight valence electrons in their outer shell, rendering them unable to bond with any other atom. So, the answer is neither, Neon can't create a reaction at all.
The answer is simple: because it is the cheaper. Argon naturally makes up 0.9% of our atmosphere, while other inert gasses such as Neon, Helium, or Xenon only make up the remaining 0.1% of the atmosphere. Therefore, nine times more argon can be extracted per gallon of air than other inert gasses, which dramatically reduces the price to $0.23 per cubic meter. Neon, on the other hand, costs approximately $2,222 per cubic meter. And since light bulbs are consumables, price is everything to both the customer and the manufacturer.
An area without air or other gasses is called a vacuum.
Many gasses such as argon, CO2, and NO2 are synthesized in large manufacturing plants.
Air contains all of these gasses as a mixture. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound (molecule) Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O2)
If you meant 'nonrenewable' then no, it's completely recycled. See, trees absorb the carbon dioxide in the air and a result of photosynthesis is oxygen. We breathe oxygen (along with nitrogen, argon, and a whole host of other inert gasses) and exhale carbon dioxide. It's basically a win-win situation.
