Well oxygen can support fire so yes. But maybe worse is the end snapping of and it becomes a 100lb steel rocket that will shoot through walls.
It doesnt matter what gas is under pressure in the tank, it still has a huge amount of potentail energy. If the gas happens to be explosive like acetylene obviously it could get bad.
What else can I help you with?
Oxygen tanks can explode if the gas is ignited why is this?
Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it can accelerate the combustion of other materials, making fires burn faster and hotter. If an oxygen tank is involved in a fire or exposed to a spark, the increased oxygen concentration inside the tank can lead to a rapid buildup of pressure, causing the tank to explode.
Can oxygen tanks explode and blow up?
Yes, oxygen tanks can explode if exposed to high heat or if the pressure inside the tank becomes too high. This can happen if the tank is damaged, improperly filled, or stored incorrectly. It is important to handle oxygen tanks with care and follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents.
Will large oxygen tanks explode if dropped?
Large oxygen tanks are designed to withstand rough handling and are typically made of sturdy materials. However, dropping a large oxygen tank can potentially damage the structure or cause a leak, which can be dangerous. It is best to handle large oxygen tanks with care and follow proper safety protocols to prevent accidents.
Why is dangerous to light a tank near oxygen tank?
Lighting a flame near an oxygen tank can cause an explosion due to the highly concentrated oxygen in the tank. Oxygen supports combustion, so any spark or flame can ignite the oxygen and cause the tank to explode. It is important to keep flames, sparks, and heat sources away from oxygen tanks to prevent this dangerous situation.
Will oxygen cans explode in space?
No, oxygen cans will not explode in space. They are designed to withstand fluctuations in pressure and temperature, so they are safe to use in space environments.

Why doesn't the gasoline explode when the car gas tank is full?
There is no reason for gasoline to explode in a tank. There is no heat or spark source in there. But the basic answer might be that there is little to no air (specifically oxygen) in the tank.
When did the oxygen tank explode in Apollo 13?
The oxygen tank exploded two hours after takeoff. They could not fix it.
Can a bullet turn an oxygen tank into a bomb?
No. An oxygen tank punctured by a bullet will fly around wildly, but it does not explode like a bomb. Incidentally, Mythbusters aired a "Jaws Special" episode, July 17, 2005, where they investigated this.
When is the external fuel tank dropped?
The external tank is dropped once the fuel is used up in the tank.

Can anything explode in space?
Sure, things can explode in space as long as there is an oxygen source as well as something that will combust. A good example is the explosion on Apollo 13. There was an explosion when a spark occurred in the electric motor that stirred an oxygen tank in the service module.
How do you use dropped in a sentence?
my jaw dropped open when i say the fireworks explode in the sinky twilight
Did apollo 13 explode?
