Can a lot of oxygen gas be pumped into a very small container and why?

Yes, it is a gas


What is the gas coming from the bottom of a rocket before launch?

What we see, at least in the instance of the space shuttle launch, is hydrogen and oxygen being vented. About the last thing we do before sending the shuttle up is fuel it. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are pumped into the cryogenic tank (the giant cylindrical container to which the shuttle itself is connected, and to which the solid booster rockets are attached. As the liquid hydrogen and oxygen are pumped in, they supercool the tanks in which they enter. As the tanks cool, some of the hydrogen and some of the oxygen are "boiled off" in that cooling process. The H2 and O2 have changed phase to a gas, but are still extremely cold, and as the liquid H2 and O2 full the tanks, that very cold gas is vented off and, because it is so cold, it appears as the "clouds" or "steam-looking" stuff that is visible during (and up to) launch.


A solid has a fixed shape but sugar or salt is kept in a vessels of different shape it takes the shape of its container?

They APPEAR to take the shape of the contained, but they don't really. Since they are known as GRANULAR solids, they appear to take the shape of the container, as a liquid would. However, there are very small spaces between the grains of salt or sugar, which do NOT take the shape of the container.


Most of the oxygen in the blood is transported?

Oxygen molecules are bound to the red pigment HEMOGLOBIN, a protein complex found exclusively in red blood cells. A very small amount of oxygen is also dissolved in the liquid portion of blood, but hemoglobin carries the bulk of oxygen.


How is oxygen and carbon dioxide made?

WARNING: Do this over a sink because it may get messy. Pour baking soda into a container (any type would be fine) and then pour vinegar SLOWLY. The container would start to bubble up very quickly. Then, quickly pour the bubbles into another container, but do NOT touch the lid. VOILA a container of carbon dioxide.

Can using oxygen cause headaches?

Breathing oxygen in through a nasal cannula (little prongs in your nose) can cause the membranes to become very dry and irritated. This will cause pain similar to a sinus headache.Have the doctor order the oxygen to be moisturized. The oxygen will then be pumped through a special water bottle so when it is breathed in it will not be so irritating.
