Depends on the size of the tank, and the temperature and pressure of the gas. One common atmospheric temperature tank has an internal volume of 1.2 cubic feet, and they are commonly delivered at pressures of 2600 psi (or so). This gas source has a bit of water in it too. Another common delivery method is as a liquid in a dewar, and these are delivered by the unit weight, and they use atmospheric heat to boil the liquid oxygen. This gas source is usually very dry.
Typically, the minimum amount of PSI recommended in an oxygen tank before needing to be exchanged is around 500 PSI. This ensures that there is enough oxygen for safe use and prevents running out unexpectedly.
Oxygen is captured into tanks through processes like cryogenic distillation, pressure swing adsorption, or membrane technology. These methods involve separating oxygen from the air and compressing it into the tank for storage and later use.

Ambulances carry oxygen cylinders because it is often used to revive people, e.g. For people rescued from drowning or people rescued from smoke filled rooms.Hospitals also use it for patients with breathing difficulties e.g. asthma.
You "crack" an oxygen tank by opening the cylinder's main valve briefly to blow out contaminants from the main valve before attaching the regulator. This is done because contaminants inside the valve or at the valve outlet (dust, dirt, organic material, bugs, fragments of plastic from valve seats, etc.) act to initiate regulator fires and explosions ignited by heat from adiabatic compression of oxygen into the regulator when the oxygen main valve is first opened. These fires ignite the brass regulator itself and are very dangerous. They are avoided by keeping oxygen equipment clean, by cracking a new oxygen cylinder prior to use, and by opening the main valve slowly when a regulator is attached.
Oxygen needs to be compressed in a diver's tank to increase the amount of oxygen that can be stored in the tank. Compressing the gas allows divers to carry enough oxygen to sustain them while underwater for a longer period of time without the tank becoming too large and unwieldy.
well you can control the pressure of it but by level, that depends on how much oxygen is in the tank. the easiest way to change the pressure of oxygen can be by heating or cooling the tank.
Oxygen in an airplane is not carried in a tank, it is the result of a chemical reaction. The oxygen will last for approximately ten to fifteen minutes.
it carries food,the oxygen tank and some things astronauts need

no, the red blood cells carry less oxygen when the person smokes
There are two different types of oxygen tanks: Liquid and Gas. Both have pros and cons, but the pro for liquid tanks is you can carry a smaller tank and have more time, but there are some safety issues. The con for gas is, if you are a person on continuous oxygen, the tanks do not last long resulting in transporting more tanks which is also a safety issue.
The amount of air in an oxygen tank varies depending on its size. A standard medical oxygen cylinder typically holds between 244 and 682 liters of oxygen at a pressure of 2,000 psi.
The blood cells can't carry as much oxygen as they should be able to carry. So the body gets less oxygen.

A half gram of hemoglobin can carry about 1.34 milliliters of oxygen when it is at 100 saturation.
