Describe processes that lock awaycarbon from the air. Explain how the gases in air canbe separated. 5. Sherlock Holmes and theCase of the Disappearing Carbon DioxideGreat ScottHolmes!

FAMILY FORTUNESWe asked 100 people wheres the carbon dioxide gone X1 LimestoneX 382 Oceans 20 X34RainforestsFossil fuels 16 13 X X5All living things 13X 8. Gases in the atmosphereLOs: Propose the composition ofEarths atmosphere. Describe processes that lock awaycarbon from the air. Explain how the gases in air canbe separated. 9. Fractional Distillation (Separating compounds by boiling point into fractions)Separating the gases in air:Make it very cold so liquefiesthen allow to slowly warmCOLDERup and collect one gas.Gas Boiling pointNitrogen-196oCArgon -186oC WARMEROxygen-183oCCarbon Dioxide-78oC 10. What use are the gases?GasUse Make ammoniaNitrogen Inert use in food packaging e.g. crisps Use to cool things e.g. sperm samplesArgonVery inert Use in light bulbsOxygen Hospitals Help breathing WeldingCarbon Dioxide Stage shows dry ice Use to cool things e.g. chemicals 11.
