(N/A) Air is a homogeneous mixture of various gases. To separate these gases,the air is first compressed by increasing pressure and then cooled by decreasing temperature to get liquid air. This liquid air is then allowed to warm up slowly in a fractional distillation column. Since different gases have different boiling points,they get separated at different heights in the column.
