When you put a gas into a cylinder the particles move all over the place by a process called diffusion. Even though they have a different molecular weight, the heavier molecules do not settle at the bottom of the tank. You could take a sample of air from anywhere in the tank and it would be similar. This means it is homogeneous.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

No it is not by any means. it is atmospheric air compressed with the high amounts of carbons and other gases lowered or removed.
