Consider a planet with atmosphere that is completely at rest with no mixing. At the surface the partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen are 20 and 80% of the total, respectively. Assume that the atmosphere has a temperature of 300 K and the mass and mass density of the planet are the same as the Earth's. Determine the altitude at which the partial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen are 10% and 90%, respectively. Answer per book solution is 51.8 km

Explain why air is classified as a solution and oxygen is classified as a pure substance.
Water is not the only chemical contaminant that can be removed from liquids and gasses using molecular sieves. Ammonia, for example, can be removed from gaseous samples using the same 3Å molecular sieves that we used to remove water from ether. Other common contaminant gasses like sulfur dioxide, dihydrogen sulfide and ethylene, however, cannot be removed using 3Å sieves. They can only be removed using 4Å molecular sieves. Explain why this is so.
