draw a flow chart showing the separation of componets of air. Also, name this process?

pls answer......

Separation of components of air by the process called fractional distillation: In this process, air is liquefied under high pressure. Then it is boiled and depending upon the boiling points of fractions (gases), the components are separated.
Instead of flow chart I am providing you diagrammatical  representation of process-

Stages involved in separation of the components of air:

  • Air is first filtered to remove dust particles. Then, it is compressed under high pressure.
  • This compressed air is then passed through a water condenser to decrease its temperature.
  • The cold compressed air is now passed through a separator. Here, carbon dioxide separates as dry ice. Due to repeated compression, air becomes cold and turns into liquid.
  • The liquid air coming out of the separator is passed through an expansion jet into the distillation column. Here, it is warmed slowly. Liquid nitrogen, having the boiling point of 196C, boils first to form liquid nitrogen gas. This gas is collected from the upper part of the column. Argon, having a boiling point of 186C, is collected next. Oxygen, having a boiling point of 183C, is collected last.
  • this process is called fractional distillation.

What 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen,11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed wen 3.00 g of carbo is burnt in 50.00 g of oxyen? Wich law of chemical combination will govern your answer4?
