Best Answer

Normal oxygen found on airplanes in the cabin is just air from the ground that is pressurized. However, air coming from emergency masks is from a storage tank or oxygen generator in the cargo hold or above the seats.

WRONG: Airplane air is compressed from the outside air by the engines and then cooled down though air-conditioning and filtered. Humidity is then added. The air leaves the plane through ports to keep optimal pressurization (these ports can open and close as necessary).

In an emergency, air is created by a chemical oxygen generator, most commonly sodium chlorate, which gives off oxygen when heated.

When you don't know something, don't respond; rather than filling in BS information.

Why do you have oxygen masks on airplanes?

On airliners its because you're flying at very high altitudes which means there is very little oxygen and if one of the windows are broken that air will come so if you don't have the oxygen masks you'll die from lack of oxygen in case of an emergency like there is a gas leak, or there are toxic fumes released into the air, or if the plane is about to crash and people start to panic

What happens if we lose oxygen for 10 minutes?

Most of our body cells would stop functioning after 10 minutes of lack of oxygen. If there is no oxygen in the environment, airplanes would have crashed, and mostly every vehicle that requires oxygen would stop moving. Let's say 1,000,000 years from now aliens come to our planet would ask if the humans had so much why did they disappear all of a sudden.
