|---|
| First on the list will be a listing of the gases. The first number listed is the percetage of that gas that our air is made up with. The 2nd number is the temperature that that gas will liquefied. Please note that Carbon Dioxide will never become a liquid. Carbon Dioxide will go from a gas to a solid at -109.3 degrees. |

| Nitrogen - 78.09 % - -320.5 degreess. |

| Argon - .93% - -302.6 degrees. |

| The following gases only comes from air. There is very little and they will NEVER mix with any other items. They are called inert gases. The only way to get them is to boil air and collect the gases at different temperatures. Their total is less then 1 % of the air. |
