Question

why is nitrogen gas called azota? why do mountain climbers take oxygen cylinder​

Answer 1

Answer:

Azote is the old name for nitrogen. It comes from the Greek for 'without life'. When you take air and remove the oxygen, water and carbondioxide (all pretty easy to do) then the stuff left behind is mainly nitrogen (with a bit of argon). It's distinguishing feature is that animals die if they breathe it.

Mountaineers carry an oxygen cylinderalong with them. It is because when theyclimb mountains, as altitude increases, the amount of oxygen level in the atmospheric air decreases as trees arenot found at higher altitudes. As a result,mountaineers suffer from dizziness. Itcan also lead to hypoxia.
