m add units to molar mass (I'd do specific heat too, but cannot verify what units it uses in-game) |

Introduction
The gases are the most important part of Atmospherics. There are currently 9 gases in the game, each of them has its own Specific Heat Capacity and Molar Mass. The standard air mix on the station is 22%-25% oxygen and 78%-75% nitrogen at 101.325kPa and 20°C or 293.15K. Most of them can be created using Gas Miners or created in combustion reactions.
Gases
Oxygen
Colorless, reactive gas that humans need to breathe to stay alive. Key oxidizing agent in most combustion reactions. Most species need 18 mols to breathe, except Harpies who need 22 mols to breathe. Toxic to Voxes in any quantity. Has a specific heat capacity of 20 and a molar mass of 32 g/mol.
Nitrogen
Colorless, odorless, inert gas. Slimes and Voxes breathe this. Has a specific heat capacity of 30 and a molar mass of 28 g/mol. Naturally cools off hot gases slowly.
Carbon Dioxide
Colorless, odorless, relatively inert gas. Exhaled by creatures that breathe oxygen. Toxic in high enough quantities. The reason why atmospheric technicians are employed. Has a specifc heat capacity of 30 and a molar mass of 44 g/mol.
Plasma
Purple, putrid, highly-combustible, and toxic gas. Combusts in the presence of oxygen at high tempatures, but will not ignite on its own. Unfortunately, it is also vitally important to industrial and scientific activities aboard Nanotrasen stations. Creates Tritium when burnt with oxygen. Has a specific heat capacity of 200 and a molar mass of 120 g/mol.
Tritium
Green, highly-combustible, and radioactive. Combusts in the presence of oxygen. It is formed by the combustion of Oxygen and Plasma. To form Tritium, there must be 96 times more Oxygen than Plasma during the reaction. If there is too much Plasma, the reaction will produce Carbon Dioxide instead. Forms Water Vapor when burned. Has a specific heat capacity of 10 and a molar mass of 6 g/mol.
Water Vapor
Water in gaseous form. Due to the unique environment of space, does not condense into liquid water. Harmful to slime people. Formed when Tritium is burned with Oxygen. Has a specific heat capacity of 40 =and a molar mass of 18 g/mol.
Miasma
Purple, foul-smelling gas. Breeds disease, toxic, and harmful in sufficiently large concentrations. A by-product of nasty biological processes, including rotting bodies, and what Voxes breathe out. Has a specific heat capacity of and a molar mass of 44 g/mol.
Nitrous Oxide
Colorless gas. Otherwise known as "laughing" or "sleepy" gas, it acts as a sedative to non-slimes and is toxic in very high concentrations. A by-product of Slimes exhaling. Formed from Frezon and Nitrogen. Has a specific heat capacity of and a molar mass of 44 g/mol.
Frezon
Blue-greenish gas. Used as an industrial coolant. Used recreationally by some for its euphoric effects, before their lungs freeze out. It has a high value and is made by mixing cold Tritium and Oxygen. Reacts to nitrogen when exposed to it, creating nitrous oxide. Has a specific heat capacity of 600 and a molar mass of 50 g/mol.
