Air contains mostly nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). It also contains other gases, including carbon dioxide and helium, and various pollutants (both gases and solids). Write a brief explanation about why air is a mixture, whether it is homogeneous or heterogeneous, and how it can be separated into its components.

Air is heterogenous mixture because it is made of components that can seperate, The process to sperate air into its components is called fractional distillation. In this process, air coverts to a liquid form, and then it seprates into seperate layers, which then helps you to see air's components.

hopefully this helps you.
