Why are medical gases compressed?

The gasses are compressed mainly so they can fit in a smaller space. If the gasses were not compressed it would be very inconvenient and costly to reserve the space for the quantities of gas needed.


If you could remove all the oxygen from the earth and its surrounding atmosphere how much space would it take up?

gases tend to take up the entire space they are given. if a little is in a large area, density will be low, but even throughout the entire area its given. it will also cause suction. if there is a lot in a small area, it will be high density, and will add a lot of outward pressure to its container. basically, gasses do take up space, but they will move to accept other objects, and take up all of the space they are given. so, the i guess the answer is: all of it, but none of it. hope that helped ^^

Can hydrogen and helium mixed kill you?

There is nothing toxic about hydrogen or helium and there is no reaction that occurs between them. However, like all gasses they take up space and so can displace oxygen from an area. A lack of oxygen can kill a person in minutes.
