Arrange the gases present in air in the ascending order of their boiling points: argon, oxygen, nitrogen.
Air is a mixture of mainly three gases i.e.; oxygen (O), argon (Ar), and nitrogen (N).
S.No. | Name of the gas | Boiling point |
1 | Oxygen | |
2 | Argon | |
3 | Nitrogen |
Step-1: Find the gas with the lowest and the highest boiling point from the known values
Step-2: Arrange the boiling points in the ascending order by putting the lesser than sign as shown below.
Therefore, the ascending order of boiling points of gases i.e.; argon, oxygen, and nitrogen is nitrogen argon oxygen.
