@jeffcliff @SystemSock @Mogami @thatbrickster I ended up learning a lot about dalton's law of partial pressure that helps explain this. If you consider air, it's 80% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and various trace elements. The nitrogen and the oxygen coexist in the same atmosphere.
Dalton's law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. This empirical law was observed by John Dalton in 1801 and published in 1802. Dalton's law is related to the ideal gas laws. Essentially, the air is the same as 80kPa nitrogen and 20kPa oxygen.
This doesn't just apply to gasses in a vacuum, but also gasses in a liquid. Dissolved oxygen in water, for example (which is how fish breathe) exists in the interstitial spaces between water molecules.

The biggest strike against the environmental industrial complex isn't mistaken climate modelling. The biggest strike against the environmental industrial complex is coming this winter in countries around the world.
Hope none of you are poor.
