Oxygen is slightly more dense than air. The density of oxygen at room temperature is approximately 1.429 grams per liter, while the density of dry air is around 1.225 grams per liter. This is due to the fact that oxygen molecules (O2) have a higher molecular weight than the average molecular weight of air.

Is warm air less dense than cold air and moist air is more dense than dry air?

Warm air is less dense then cold air. But moist air is actually less dense than dry air because water vapor has a lower molecular weight than the oxygen and nitrogen that make up most of the atmosphere.

Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?

Ammonia is less dense than air at room temperature and pressure. This is why ammonia gas rises in air.


Why hydrogen gas collected by upward delivery?

Because hydrogen gas is less dense than air(mostly nitrogen and oxygen), and the less dense gas flows to go above the more dense(and escape the atmosphere).


Is the oxygen less at high altitudes?

Yes. Air is less dense at higher altitudes, so the oxygen is at a lower concentration.
