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
