Page 1: Lesson: Air. Science Differentiation in action Air contains: 78% nitrogen (N 2 ) 21% oxygen (0 2 ) 1% water vapour & other gases 0.03% carbon dioxide

Lesson: Air

Page 2: Lesson: Air. Science Differentiation in action Air contains: 78% nitrogen (N 2 ) 21% oxygen (0 2 ) 1% water vapour & other gases 0.03% carbon dioxide

Science Differentiation in action

Air contains:

78% nitrogen (N2)

21% oxygen (02)

1% water vapour & other gases

0.03% carbon dioxide (CO2)

Air is a mixture!

These figures are approximate.

Science Differentiation in action

Why is air a mixture?

1. The gases that make it change in proportion or composition.

2. Its gases become liquids when cooled and can be separated one at a time.

3. When the right gases are mixed, air is formed. No heat is given out or taken in so no new compound is made.
