All gases are compressible. Depending on their state. Oxygen can be a gas, a solid or a liquid. Liquid oygen (very very cold) would not be compressible, solid oxygen (frozen) would not either but as a gas at standard conditions - room temperature and pressure - it can be compressed. For example, compressed oxygen is used in emergency vehicles to keep people alive if they are injured or sick. It is extremely flammable, almost explosive so no smoking near a compressed oxygen gas cylinder, OK?
What else can I help you with?
Which property explains why a lot of oxygen can be pumped into a very small container?
Yes as the oxygen (gas) can be compressed into the very small container which is a property.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids or solids?
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
Explain why pressure affects the solubility of oxygen in water but not the solubility of Nacl in water?
The reason that it effects the solubulity of oxygen is that it is gaseous while NaCl is solid at room temperature. The oxygen molecules are effected by the increase in pressure in the way that there are more of them per unit volume of air if you increase air pressure. This is clearly not the case for the Na and Cl atoms which are ionically bonded to one another and are therefore solid. If you want to know more about the reason that pressure effects the solubility of oxygen in water, have a wee look at partial pressures.
Is oxygen 17 and oxygen 18 the same isotopes of oxygen?
No, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 are different isotopes of oxygen. They differ in the number of neutrons each atom contains. Oxygen-17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons while oxygen-18 has 8 protons and 10 neutrons.
4litre of oxygen is how much percentage of oxygen?
4 liters of oxygen is 100% oxygen because the volume is entirely filled with oxygen.
Is salt compressible?
no salt is not compressible
Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?
Butane gas is compressible. It can be compressed into a smaller volume at higher pressures.
Is sodium chloride compressible?
Sodium chloride is compressible.
How can you use compressible in a sentence?
One of the synonyms for "compressible" is "squeezable". I've noticed that a sponge is more compressible when it is soaking wet.
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
How many kg oxygen gas capacity in 1 cubic meter volume?
Gas is compressible. As long as you can keep increasing the pressure, you can stuff as much oxygen into a bottle or a tank as you want to, until it bursts.
Sponge is compressible still its solidwhy?
Sponge is solid yet it is compressible the presence of the inter particle spaces or voids which are filled with air and make it compressible.
In order for a material to be compressible there must be space between the particles which states of matter will be in compressible?
Solid and liquid states are not compressible.Solids.Solids
What is the difference between compressible and in-compressible fluids giving examples of the fluids found in human body?
compressible fluid changes its volume when external pressure is applied and in-compressible fluid does not change its volume due to external pressure
Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?
No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.
Is blood compressible?
In theory blood is compressible; however, for many instances it can be assumed incompressible.
What physical property is shared by oxygen helium and carbon dioxide?
Being gasses, each of these is compressible.
