  • Gas-Gas Solutions: Understanding Oxygen Dissolved in Nitrogen
    Oxygen in nitrogen is an example of a gas-gas solute-solvent combination.

    Here's why:

    * Solute: Oxygen (O2) is the dissolved substance. It's present in a smaller amount than the solvent.

    * Solvent: Nitrogen (N2) is the dissolving substance. It's present in a larger amount and forms the continuous phase.

    Both oxygen and nitrogen are gases at room temperature and pressure, making this a gas-gas solution.
