Air chemical equation

Introduction :

Air is usually made up of a mixture of so many gases. Air comprises slightly over 20% of oxygen (O₂) and in relation to 78% nitrogen (N₂). Air also contains surplus quantities of Carbon Dioxide (about 0.03%) and even smaller quantities of other inert gases like Helium, Neon, Argon, etc. It has some low level Ozone O₃. Air usually exists as a mixture of all these gases it does exist in the compound form. It also contains small and varying quantity of water vapor. Which we are looking as clouds in the sky.The air chemical equation are give in Table 1

Air chemical equation:Chief constituent of gases

The chief constituent of air is nitrogen gas followed by oxygen

The first two gases nitrogen and oxygen make up 99.0% of the atmosphere by volume.

Nitrogen is moderately inert because of its strong triple bond holding the atoms jointly in the molecule. Whereas, the oxygen gas is synthesized by photosynthesis and removed by combustion and respiration.

Types of Air chemical equation:

The types of air chemical equation as follows

Reaction with Acetaldehyde: Oxygen gas is used in the preparation of acetaldehyde (ethanol) involves the following steps.

2CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ →2CH₃CHO + 2H₂O

Further oxidation of ethanoic acid with give rise to acetic acid which on further oxidation with carbon dioxide and water takes place on burning.

2CH₃CHO + O₂ → 2CH₃COOH

Reaction with Aluminum: Secondly oxygen reacts with aluminum metal

Aluminum metal undergoes a combination reaction with O₂ (g).

4Al + 3O₂ →2Al₂O₃

Reaction with Copper hydroxide: Copper (II) hydroxide degraded into copper (II) oxide and water when heated.

Cu (OH) ₂ → CuO + H₂O

Reaction with Heptanes: Heptanes, burns in air to give carbon dioxide

C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂OH

Reaction with methyl ter butyl ether: The gasoline additive MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), C₅H₁₂O₂ (l), burns in air.

C₅H₁₂O₂ + 7O₂ →5CO₂ + 6H₂O

Physical properties of Air chemical equation:

• Oxygen exhibits its Compressibility that is isothermal properties with the chemical compounds.
• Oxygen shows high conductivity towards air, water, and other fluids.
• It has high density gradient against air, water and other fluids, various solids and other common liquids.
• It is relatively rough to handle because of its high tensile strength.
