Chapter 7 Air

Air-contains nitrogen, oxygen,

carbon dioxide and rare gases.

Oxygen - respiration, rocket engine

combustion, welding and metal cutting
in industry. a cycle that involves the continuous
Carbon Dioxide - photosynthesis, uptake of oxygen from the air and
carbonated beverage manufacturing, the return of oxygen back to the air
fire extinguishers, carbon cycle
Nitrogen - production of nitric acid
and ammonia, nitrogen cycle, liquid
nitrogen as a cooling agent
Rare gas - helium gas is used to fill
air balloons, fluorescent gas is used
in lamps, argon gas to fill bulbs

a cycle that maintains the carbon

dioxide content in the air by taking
carbon dioxide from the air and
returning it to the air continuously
