78% nitrogen. 21% oxygen. 1% argon, carbon dioxide, and other gases...

The Percentage of air we breath 78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 0.9% Argon 0.04 Carbon Dioxide 0.06% Other Gases

Oxygen 21%
Argon .9%
Carbon dioxide .04%
Other gases .06%
Are the percents that make up the air.

I think the percentage of air is 21%. There is .9% argon and .04% carbon dioxide. The rest of it, 71%, is nitrogen.

The percentage that makes up the air we breathe is 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen 1% Other gases

Maddie Corbett(: said...

The percentage that makes up the air we breathe is 21%. Which is oxygen. Argon is 0.9%, Carbon Dioxide is 0.04% Other gases is 0.06% and Nitrogen is 78%

Nathan n said...

what we learned yesterday with the pie chart.
oxygen is 21%. Argon is0.9%. Carbon dioxide is 0.04%. nitrogen is 78% and other gasses are 0.06%.

The percentage of the air we breath is Oxygen 21% nitrogen 78% argon 1%!

Rea,Cheyenne(: said...

Oxygen 21
Nitrogen 78
Argon 0.9
Cardon dioxide 0.04
Other gases 0.06

jarred s said...

78% nitrogen/0.06 other gases/21% oxygen/argon 0.9/0.04 Carbon dioxide.

20%

Lexi F:) said...

It is 95% with two types of gases.

Whoa, smartness!

I found this answer on www.airlifeone.com; Air is gas that consists of free molecules in the ratio of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.3% carbon dioxide and traces of helium, neon, other gases and water vapor. There are also contaminants which are described as: Solid, Germ & Gas Phase Contaminants.

The percentages of gases that make up the air we breathe are 79% Nitrogen,20% Oxygen,Argon-0.93422%
Co2- 0.03811%,and water vapour- about 1%.

oxygen cabon dioxide

Rhiannon Johnson said...

6 gases make up the air we breath. The percentages are about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.93422% argon, 0.03811% Co2, water vapor 1%, and 0.002% other gases that vary. Those are the percentages of the gases we breath.

Jewel (: said...

Nitrogen-78%

Nick M. said...

The air contains 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.95% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, 1% water vapor, and about 0.002% of other gases.

Stevey A said...

Our air contains 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.95% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, 1% water vapor, and about 0.002% other gases.

kiyah said...

It is NItrogen which is 78% of it!! :)

nick said...

oxygen 20.95%

There are 6 gasses in the air and it is 78% nitrogen, 1% water vapor, 20.95% oxygen, 0.95% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and about 0.oo2% of other gases. :)

Camille D is very smart :D said...

when you breath air provide oxygen for your heart to make blood

What are the percentages of gases that make up the air we breathe
ir is approximately 7% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen,Air is the name we give to the mixture of gases which make up the Earth's atmosphere. The commposition, physiccal, and chemicfal properties of air are very similar everywhere.which is mainly composed of three gases: nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon 1%, these thre gases make up 99,96% of dry air. All three can be economically recovered as industrial gas products. Standard dry air also contains a ssmall amount of carbon dioxide, and very small amounts of neon, helisum, krypfton, hydrdfogen and xenonf(Read from book:))

dr kacee said...

I spelled things wrong:(

Erik C said...

Nitrogen: 78% (78 parts out of a hundred)
Oxygen: 20% (21 parts out of a hundred)
Carbon Dioxide: 0.03% (3 parts out of ten thousand)
Rare Gases (Helium, Argon, Krypton, Neon, Xenon and Radon together make up 0.97%)
Water Vapour (the amount varies)

Air is approximately 79% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen

Grace B(-; said...

78% nitrogen 20% oxygen .03% Carbon Dioxide The rest is rare gases.

emile w said...

the air is mostly made up of nitrogen, so that is mostly what we breath.

Archer t said...

Nitrogen 78%
Oxygen (Wooooo!!!) 21%
Argon 1%
Carbon, Neon, Helium a lot less

mattc said...

we breath 78 percent nitrogen 21 percent oxygen .9 percent argon .04 carbon dioxide and .06 other gases.

SammyG said...

the air we breathe is about 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and 1% is a mixture of other gases.

Ian C. said...

What are the percentages of gases that make up the air we breathe?

The percenctages of the air we breath are something like oxygen is 21%, Argon is.9% Carbon Dioxide is .04% other gasses have .06% and nitrogen is 78%

Aaron R said...

78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, and the rest is carbon dioxide and other cemicals
