The Chemical formula of air -
There is no such specific chemical formula as air as the air is a mixture of many different compounds and gases. But since Nitrogen is in the major constituents so sometimes the chemical formula of air can be denoted as Nitrogen.
- Air is made up of several different mixtures of compounds which in different constituents adds up to make the air.
- The major constituents of air would be Nitrogen (N₂), Oxygen (O₂), Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Water (H₂O), and many other different compounds in small quantities.
- The minor constituent is Helium, Sulphur dioxide and various others gases.
- Nitrogen makes up the most percentages in air composition and is about 78%, while Oxygen is the second most air composition in air and is about 21 %.
