    Study Notes

    Air Composition

    • Air is a mixture of gases
    • Predominantly nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%)
    • Contains small amounts of carbon dioxide (0.04%), noble gases, water vapor, and other gases
    • These gases are not chemically bonded
    • Air is essential for survival on Earth

    Tests for Gases in Air

    • Identifying gases can be difficult visually
    • Scientists use specific tests based on the properties of each gas
    • Practical tests are used to study oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen
    • Specific experiments are outlined for these tests

    Testing for Water Vapor

    • Dry cobalt chloride paper changes color in the presence of water.
    • Blue paper turns pink when exposed to water
    • Blue paper turns blue again when exposed to alcohol

    Properties and Uses of Gases

    • Oxygen supports burning, essential for human life, used in welding
    • Oxygen is used when climbing and high altitudes.
    • Carbon dioxide does not support burning, heavier than air, used in fire extinguishers to isolate the fire from oxygen.
    • Nitrogen is unreactive and used to preserve food in packaging, used in freezing systems
    • Nitrogen has a very low boiling point (-196°C).

    Section Summary - Air

    • Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, noble gases, water vapor, and other gases.
    • Tests can determine specific gases in the air based on their unique characteristics
      • Oxygen supports burning, relights a glowing splint, supports burning
      • Carbon dioxide does not support burning, denser than air, turns hydrogencarbonate indicator red to yellow, turns limewater milky
      • Nitrogen is unreactive, has a very low boiling point (-196°C)
    • Water vapor causes cobalt chloride paper to turn from blue to pink
