the mole fraction of oxygen= 37/100 0.37 the mole fraction of Nitrogen= .63 that equals to give 1

To find the mole fraction of oxygen, first convert the percentages to fractions: 37% oxygen is 0.37 and 63% nitrogen is 0.63. Since the total mole fraction in a mixture is 1, the mole fraction of oxygen would be 0.37/(0.37 + 0.63) = 0.37/1 = 0.37. Therefore, the mole fraction of oxygen in the gas mixture is 0.37.

Is Nitrogen and oxygen a homogeneous mixture?
No, nitrogen and oxygen are not a homogeneous mixture. They are two separate gases that can exist in the air as a uniform mixture.
When 99 percent of the atmosphere is made up of either oxygen or?
Nitrogen, with oxygen making up about 21 percent and nitrogen making up about 78 percent.
What would be the solute 80 percent Nitrogen 20 percent Oxygen?
In this case, the solute would be nitrogen since it is the substance that is present in the larger proportion (80%) compared to oxygen (20%). The solvent would be the medium in which these substances are dissolved, such as air or a gas mixture.
Is air mostly oxygen and nitrogen a mixture or compound?
Air is mostly a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of air, while oxygen makes up about 21%. These gases are not chemically bonded and can be separated from each other.
What is the solvent in the mixture of oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide and argon?
The solvent in a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon would typically be air, as these gases are commonly found in the atmosphere.
Is a bottle of 30 percent oxygen gas and 70 percent nitrogen a homogeneous mixture?
Yes
The air you breathe is made of 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen The oxygen in air is the?
It's the oxygen. Since oxygen doesn't dissolve into nitrogen - air is a mixture, not a solution - you can't call it the solute and the nitrogen the solvent, which may have been the answer you thought you were going to get.
Is Nitrogen and oxygen a homogeneous mixture?
No, nitrogen and oxygen are not a homogeneous mixture. They are two separate gases that can exist in the air as a uniform mixture.
Is nitrogen monoxide a mixture?
No, it is a compound of the elements nitrogen and oxygen.
How may air best be described?
A mixture of nitrogen (80percent) and oxygen (20 percent)
What are two compounds that are formed when nitrogen combine with oxygen?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
When 99 percent of the atmosphere is made up of either oxygen or?
Nitrogen, with oxygen making up about 21 percent and nitrogen making up about 78 percent.
Is oxygen a mixture or a compound?
Neither. Oxygen is an element. In the air it forms a mixture with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.
What would be the solute 80 percent Nitrogen 20 percent Oxygen?
In this case, the solute would be nitrogen since it is the substance that is present in the larger proportion (80%) compared to oxygen (20%). The solvent would be the medium in which these substances are dissolved, such as air or a gas mixture.
What is the primary element the makes up approximately 80 percent of the mixture of gases that you breathe?
Nitrogen is the primary element that makes up approximately 80 percent of the mixture of gases that you breathe.
Is air mostly oxygen and nitrogen a mixture or compound?
Air is mostly a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of air, while oxygen makes up about 21%. These gases are not chemically bonded and can be separated from each other.
What is the air around us?
A mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, mostly.
