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.

air is made up of some gases. i.e. it's made up of hydrogen, nitrogen, and mixture of other gases. but the most common is it is made up of nitrogen-78%, oxygen-21%, and other gases-1%air is made up of different gases such as oxygen, carbondioxide, nitrogen and noble gases.
nitrogen about 75 (probably 65-85%)
Water
78 percent of air is nitrogen. Oxygen makes up about 21 percent of the air we breathe, while the remaining 1 percent is made up of other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases.
air is made of 19.98 percent oxygen 79 percent nitrogen and 2 percent carbon
nitrogen
Nitrogen. Oxygen makes up approximately 21% of the Earth's atmosphere, while nitrogen makes up about 78%. Together, they account for the vast majority of the gases present in the atmosphere.
Yes: Because air contains both nitrogen and oxygen and inhaling brings air in gas phase into contact with the lungs, it is impossible to breathe under normal conditions without inhaling nitrogen.
The atmosphere.
The air we breathe is mostly made up of nitrogen and oxygen. The remaining 1% is made up of argon, carbon dioxide and other trace gases. Even water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is present in air in varying amounts.
I think mostly oxygen, and some nitrogen. Also, some carbon dioxide.
Nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) are the two main components of Earth's atmosphere, making up a total of 99%. Other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor make up the remaining 1%.
nitrogen is 78% while CO2 is part of a percent
It is normally know as 'air' and air is made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is the gas that the body needs to survive.
78 percent Air is mostly gas The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen.
