ways of separating mixtures
Cool the mixture VERY VERY carefully!
Oxygen has a boiling point of 90K
Nitrogen has a boiling point of 77K
So cooling the solution (to about 80K) will cause the nitrogen to liquefy first and you can imply pour it away. Then you have effectively separated the gas mixture.
Word of caution!! Liquid oxygen is VERY VERY explosive!!
Hope this helps
