If we assume different chemical properties for the gases: react some substrate with one and leave the others. This was how oxygen was removed from samples of air, 200-250 years ago.
Or if the gases have different condensation temperatures, then cooling the sample will condense out one, then another, then another, ..
Or if there is a highly radioactive isotope of one gas, but not another, expose the sample ot very high particle radiation. Eventually the newly radioactive isotope will decay and no longer be present.
Or use a mass spectrometer to separate the molecules one by one.
Or freeze the gas sample, and sort out the solid crystals. Won't work very well for, say, helium, although one of the odd states of liquid helium might just run away from the rest of the gases.
Or apply a voltage to the gas and collect them by magnetic means as they ionize one gas species at a time. Possible to do it with heat as well, but the apparatus will be more difficult. Or you can be really tricky and use a tunable laser to perform the ionization.
Some gas species adhere to surfaces more efficiently than others. if you have such a mixture, you might be able to find a material which will remove one species while leaving another.
Hire Maxwell's Demon, heat the gas sample to a uniform temperature and let the Demon sort them by velocity (if there is a mass difference between the species).
Along with my reaserch of acid making, to make hydrocloric acid you ....bla bla bla then a GAS is realeased you bubble it through water a you have hydrocloric acid. But oxygen and gasses that dont mix with water bubble through to the top. Im sure that other liquids can absorb other gases. But getting the gases out of the water is different. possibly electrolisis By, Luke T from New Jersey
There are several method to separate two or even more gases mixed with one another.
Gases can be separated using their activity of reaction with any specific substance.They can be removed by absorption of them in specific material like "Charcoal" or metals like Platinum or Palladium.
There are some more methods for this process.
So,basically the method of separation of gases depends on the types of gases.
The lighter one floats to the top while the heavier one sinks to the bottom.
There are a number of ways but one of the most common is to freeze the gas, the different components liquify a differeing temperatures.

Do gases contain unbalanced numbers of electrons and protons?
Neutral gases do not; ionized gases do.
What is A Grade 8 Science Experiment powered by liquids or gases?
Gases.
Do gases keep their shape?
Gases can NOT change shape because gases don't have a 'shape', it's the container in which they are held that has a shape)
External respiration involves?
External respiration is the exchange of gases between each lung and blood. It involves inhaling gases from the organisms external environment, and then exhaling the gases back out.
Can gasses flow?
Gases flow anywhere they want to. This is one of the special properties of gases. They do NOT have a definite volume or shape. They take the shape of their container and fill the volume of that container.
How do you separate the gases in water?
through electrolysis.
How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
How you can obtain different gases from air?
we can separate different gases by using fractional distillation method because the gases has different b.p
How can you obtain different gases from thr air?
we can separate different gases by using fractional distillation method because the gases has different b.p
Could distillation be used to separate air into its compnent gases?
YES
What method is used to separate noble gases and air?
Fractional distillation is used to separate noble gases and air, by first liquifying the air and allowing the individual gasses to evaporate out at their respective boiling temperatures.
What are immiscible gases?
Immiscible gases are gases that do not mix or dissolve in each other. This means that when two immiscible gases come into contact, they will not form a homogeneous mixture but instead will remain as separate phases. An example of immiscible gases is nitrogen and helium.
How do you separate gas in water as a mixture?
Heating the water all gases are released.
Why are the noble gases so hard to separate?
Attraction between the atoms increases
Would it be easier to separate solutions of gases or solids?
i would say solids but it depends on how good youare with solids or gases. hope this helps :)
What method is used to separate noble gases from air?
The method used to separate noble gases from air is fractional distillation. Air is cooled to very low temperatures to turn it into a liquid, and then the different components of air, including noble gases, are separated based on their boiling points.
Describe how to separate cold air into parts?
The only way to separate air is to freeze it into a solid, and then slowly bring the temperature up so that the gases reach their evaporating poin one by one, and collect the gases separatly as they escape.
