Compressed air is the same as the air
we breathe. It contains oxygen along
with other gasses, most notably
nitrogen and traces of other gases.
Although, It is NOT 100% oxygen

What is the chemical compound for air?
When you compress air it is a physical change, not a chemical change. so it is still 16% oxygen, 1% hydrogen, and 78% nitrogen. there is not a chemical formula for compressed air.
Why is compressed oxygen used instead of compressed air in space?
Oxygen is the component of air that we consume, so it must be continuously replaced as the astronauts breathe it. The the other components of air, mostly nitrogen, simply come from the initial air supply and do not need to be replaced.
How is compressed oxygen defined?
Compressed oxygen--oxygen that is stored as a gas in a tank.
Does compressed oxygen have a weight?
actually compressed oxygen does actually have weight.
Why unclog gas line with nitrogen and not compressed air?
Because nitrogen will block oxygen and prevent combustion.
Why shouldn't technician use oxygen or compressed air to pressurize appliances to check for leak?

What particles does air-contain?
Air particles contain oxygen.

Is water in the oxygen you breathe?
What we breathe is air, and oxygen is just 20% of the air. Oxygen does not contain water, it is an element and it contains only itself. However, air does contain some water vapor.
Do compressed cylinders of medical oxygen contain ephedrine or any bronchial dilators?
They shouldn't. A person taking the oxygen could have an adverse reaction.
Why do the air you breathe out contain no oxygen?
The oxygen in the air you breathe in is absorbed via the lungs into the blood.
How is compressed oxygen defined?
Compressed oxygen--oxygen that is stored as a gas in a tank.
Why should oxygen or compressed air never be used to pressurize a system?
Oxygen or compressed air should never be used because they contain moisture, and moisture reacts with oil in the system to for acids ( organic solids ) R12 R22 R502 R134a will hydrolyze ( a chemical reaction ) with water forming hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids and more water. Motor windings will deteriorate and metal corrosion and sludge can occur
Does compressed oxygen have a weight?
actually compressed oxygen does actually have weight.
Where do firefighters get oxygen tanks?
Firefighters typically get oxygen tanks from their fire department or fire station. These tanks are filled with compressed oxygen and are essential for providing breathable air to firefighters in hazardous or smoke-filled environments.
Why unclog gas line with nitrogen and not compressed air?
Because nitrogen will block oxygen and prevent combustion.
