उत्तर
Nitrogen, oxygen and argon are separated from air by fractional distillation. Following are the steps followed to separate these gases from air:
- Air is first filtered to remove the dust particles, spores etc. Subsequently water vapours and carbon dioxide are removed.
- Air is subjected to high pressure and then cooled. This air is then allowed to expand in a chamber which causes further cooling of the air.
- This process is repeated to cool the air further. Ultimately, the air becomes so cold that it turns into a liquid.
- This liquid air is then fed into a fractionating column from its bottom end and is cooled slowly.
- Liquid nitrogen boils off first to nitrogen gas as the boiling point of nitrogen is lowest at -196°C.
- Liquid argon boils off at a boiling point of -186°C.
- Liquid oxygen boils off last as it has highest boiling point among all three (around -183°C).

There is a large group of materials P which can be divided into three groups Q, R and S on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group Q can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group Q are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group R are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group S are neither insulators like Q nor good conductors like R. The properties of S are intermediate between those of Q and R.
