For how long Oxygen is stored in the body?
Pure Oxygen is stored either as a gas in high pressure gas cylinders or as a liquid in large cryogenic tanks. Highly Flammable. :)
If a 30 pound cylinder of reclaimed R-410a refrigerant has been stored overnight at 70 degrees Fahrenheit the pressure in the cylinder should be approximately?
200.4 Psig
Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure?
Because it would otherwise mix with air, making it impure.
How is potassium stored?
The pure metal must be stored under oil to protect it from oxygen and water vapor in the air.
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 is pure oxygen stored as liquid under pressure?
Oxygen stored as liquid is highly flammable.

Is the gas in a gas cylinder stored in greater pressure?
TRUE the gas is in liquified form
How many litres of SO2 gas in a 65kg cylinder?
The answer depends on the pressure under which the gas is stored.
Is a propellant used in aerosol oxygen cans?
Assuming you're talking about the oxygen cylinders a patient would use at home - then no. The Oxygen is simply stored under high pressure in the cylinder, and is released through the step-down valve.
If a 30 pound cylinder of reclaimed R-410a refrigerant has been stored overnight at 70 degrees Fahrenheit the pressure in the cylinder should be approximately?
200.4 Psig
Why do you let the extra oxygen bleed out of a tank?
When "bleeding" an oxygen tank, you are releasing excess pressure stored in the regulator, not the tank itself. If the excess pressure remains, it can damage the regulator, and the guage needle can get stuck, giving an inaccurate reading of how much oxygen remains in the tank.
Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure?
Because it would otherwise mix with air, making it impure.
How do you get oxygen in a space shuttle?
That's a good question. It is usually stored somehow or they sometimes use plants to preform photosythesis.
Do alkali metals react with oxygen?
Yes, extremely well, They are usually stored in a parafinic oil to prevent reaction with air
Where should oxygen tanks be stored?
It is stored just like any other gas. It is pumped into the tank...the more that is pumped, the higher the pressure. Then the tank valve is shut and the gas stays in the tank until it is released. One caution that must be exercised when dealing with pure oxygen is that there can be no pertoleum or explosive products used to lubricate the compressor or any of the piping. This is because pure oxygen promotes combustion easily and can cause violent explosions and fires. For an example of this, research the Apollo 1 launchpad fire. NASA used pure oxygen to pressurize the cockpit for the astronauts, but a short in a electronic switch sparked a fire that killed 3 astronauts.
How is compressed oxygen defined?
Compressed oxygen--oxygen that is stored as a gas in a tank.
