Question

What is the difference between vitiated air and fixed air

Answer 1

Answer:

vitiated air. Air that has been rendered impure by the breath of workers and horses, or by being mixed with the various gases given off in mines. It is frequently called return air.

Fixed air (Old Chem.), carbonic acid, or carbon dioxide; -- so-called by Dr. Black because it can be absorbed or fixed by strong bases. See Carbonic acid, under Carbonic. Fixed alkali (Old Chem.), a non-volatile base, as soda, or potash, in distinction from the volatile alkali ammonia.
