The speed of sound through nitrogen is about 354m/s, and the speed of sound through oxygen about 332m/s, so a mixture of both would be about, I guess,( 354m/s + 332m/s) ÷2 = 343m/s. This question was on my phsics test something like 3 years ago. Hope this helps on your test or whatever. :) (I just seriously hope you're not cheating! LOL)
What else can I help you with?
Does sound go faster through water or oxygen?
One should note that air is not pure Oxygen, rather it is about 21% oxygen, with most of the remainder being Nitrogen (and less than .04% CO2) According to Wikipedia: The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s The speed of sound in water is 1,482 m/s So, sound travels faster through water than air.
Can sound travel through carbon dioxide?
Yes, sound can travel through carbon dioxide. However, carbon dioxide is not as efficient in transmitting sound as other gases like oxygen or nitrogen due to its higher molecular weight and density. This can affect the speed and quality of sound transmission through carbon dioxide.
How fast does sound travel through oxygen?
Sound travels through oxygen at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. This speed can vary slightly based on factors such as temperature and pressure.
What is the ratio of velocity of sound in helium to that the oxygen at the same temperature and pressure?
The ratio of the velocity of sound in helium to that in oxygen at the same temperature and pressure is approximately the square root of the ratio of their molecular weights. Since helium is about four times lighter than oxygen (molecular weight of helium is 4 g/mol and oxygen is 32 g/mol), the ratio would be approximately √(32/4) = 2.
What is mach speed?
340.29 m/s
Why is the speed of sound in nitrogen similar to the speed of sound in air?
This is because air is 78% nitrogen.
What happens to the voice of a diver breathing in a mixture of oxygen and helium?
When a diver breathes in a mixture of oxygen and helium, their voice will sound higher in pitch due to the different density and speed of sound in helium compared to air. The helium molecules vibrate more quickly in the vocal cords, resulting in the higher pitch.
How fast does sound travel through oxygen and nitrogen?
Sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second through both oxygen and nitrogen at room temperature. The speed of sound is affected by the medium it travels through, so it may vary slightly depending on factors like temperature and pressure.

What is the speed of sound through gases?
The speed of sound through gases isn't very specific. However, if you mean through air it is roughly 330m/s the air is about 78% nitrogen, so i would guess it would be about the same figure through nitrogen.
How fast does sound travel through oxygen?
Sound travels through oxygen at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. This speed can vary slightly based on factors such as temperature and pressure.
Why presence of moisture increases speed of sound in air?
Moisture, in the form of water vapor, increases the speed of sound in air because water molecules are lighter than nitrogen and oxygen molecules present in dry air. This decrease in average molecular weight results in faster sound propagation. Additionally, water vapor has a higher specific heat capacity compared to dry air, which affects the speed of sound as well.
The speed of sound through oxygen at 0 and Acirc and degC is 316 meters per second. The speed of sound through solid copper is 5010 meters per second.?
No. The speed of sound in copper is well below that.
What is the ratio of velocity of sound in helium to that the oxygen at the same temperature and pressure?
The ratio of the velocity of sound in helium to that in oxygen at the same temperature and pressure is approximately the square root of the ratio of their molecular weights. Since helium is about four times lighter than oxygen (molecular weight of helium is 4 g/mol and oxygen is 32 g/mol), the ratio would be approximately √(32/4) = 2.
Does the speed of the sound change from medium to medium?
Dependence of the speed of sound on the properties of the medium: The speed of sound is variable and depends mainly on the temperature and the properties of the substance through of which the wave is traveling. For example, in low molecular weight gases, such as helium, sound propagates faster compared to heavier gases, such as xenon. In a given ideal gas the sound speed depends only on its temperature. At a constant temperature, the ideal gas pressure has no effect on the speed of sound, because pressure and density (also proportional to pressure) have equal but opposite effects on the speed of sound, and the two contributions cancel out exactly. In non-ideal gases, such as a van der Waals gas, the proportionality is not exact, and there is a slight dependence on the gas pressure, even at a constant temperature. Humidity also has a small, but measurable effect on sound speed (increase of about 0.1% to 0.6%), because some oxygen and nitrogen molecules of the air are replaced by the lighter molecules of water.

Where are the particles in the northern lights from?
Charged particles stream out from the sun after a sunstorm at supersonic speed. They collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in our ionosphere to produce the colors.
