[11] Because nitrogen and oxygen are symmetrical and carbon
dioxide and water vapor are not, the air in an infrared
spectrophotometer may show absorbances for CO2 and
water. This is easily overcome by subtracting a blank
spectrum from the experimental spectrum, and instru-
ments are often purged with dry nitrogen as well.
