Rank the following gases in order of their concentration in Earth’s atmosphere from smallest to greatest.Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Nitrogen, Hydrogen

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hydrogen  

Carbon Dioxide

Water Vapor (assuming the air is not dry)

Oxygen

Nitrogen

Explanation:

We have to make the distinction between dry air and humid-air

Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Nitrogen, Hydrogen

Hydrogen           0.000055%

Carbon Dioxide  0.413%

Oxygen             20.946%

Nitrogen           78.084%

The case of water vapor is quite variable and can increase up to 3% in some cases (lowering the participation of the other gases) but, it is near zero when the air is dry. Thus it their participation will be above Carbon Dioxide
