| Contents of air | Percentage (by volume) |
| Nitrogen | 78 |
| Oxygen | 21 |

In 800 m3 of air, calculate the approximate quantities of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases.
उत्तर
Nitrogen in air = 78%, Oxygen = 21%, Others = 1%
Quantity of air = 800 m3
∴ Quantity of nitrogen in it = 800 of 78%
= `800xx78/100"m"^3`
= 624 m3
∴ Quantity of oxygen = 800 of 21%
= `800xx21/100"m"^3`
= 168 m3
∴ Quantity of other gases = 800 of 1%
= `800xx1/100"m"^3`
= 8 m3
