Aside from biological functions like breathing, the best use of air is for energy. In order to burn anything, it must react with oxygen. You can credit the energy produced by fossil fuels as much to oxygen in the air as you could to the fuel itself!

You might argue that air is a resource in pneumatic pressure systems as well, using the air as a medium for storing energy as pressure.

Air is also “mined” for trace elements through air separation. For the most part, it is nitrogen that is extracted, because it accounts for 78% of gases in the atmosphere. Trace elements like noble gases, such as argon, are also extracted in this way.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The concentration of H₃PO₄ will increase.

Explanation:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

If we add more H₂PO₄⁻, the position of equilibrium will move to the left to get rid of the added H₂PO₄⁻.

The concentration of H₃PO₄ will increase.
