Re: Question of Extreme Importance
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 2:23 pmChemical composition air-
Nitrogen. N2. 78.084 %.
Oxygen. O2. 20.9476 %.
Argon. Ar. 0.934 %.
Carbon Dioxide. CO2. 0.0314 %
Neon. Ne. 0.001818%
Methane. CH4. 0.0002%
Helium. He. 0.000524%
Krypton. Kr. 0.000114%
Hydrogen. H2. 0.00005%
Xenon. Xe. 0.0000087%
That's about it Forrest......
Of course the Methane content can vary depending on where you are, what you've been eating and the company you are with at the time.....

Air on a G String, of course....

Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:08 pmRomulus, that's still no 100% ...
Xenon, Krypton - is there an element which is NOT in the air? I heard there is even Pb (how do you call it? Lead?) in the air.
Interesting ....!

LOL...I'm lucky my old feeble mind could remember that much with any accuracy. But if memory serves me correct the relative balance was various dust particles (i.e. various pollens, various dirt dust, various smoke, etc.)
At least I accounted for 99.9997147 % with the different chemicals.
BTW-
Name: Lead
Symbol: Pb
Atomic Number: 82
Atomic Mass: 207.2 amu
Melting Point: 327.5

Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:50 pmThere is air because if there wasn't we would all have to hold our breath for 70+ years and nothing would get done.

Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:53 pmWell, without air Paul wouldn't be able to play his air guitar for one thing.
There wouldn't be any hot air either. Whatever would I find to do with myself?

That would obviously be a different G String to the sort I would like to become accustomed to playing with...
P.s. Romulus, here in Cornwall we have a good percentage of Radon in the atmosphere. So now you know where cornishmen get their *AHEM* from...
