Because it would otherwise mix with air, making it impure.
Oxygen gas is usually stored under pressure in metal cylinders to increase its density and reduce its volume, making it easier and more practical to transport and use in various applications. Storing oxygen under pressure also helps to maintain its purity and prevent contamination.
Under a pressure of 1 atm, solid oxygen will sublime when heated. This is because the triple point of oxygen is at a pressure lower than 1 atm, so heating solid oxygen at 1 atm will cause it to bypass the liquid phase and transition directly to a gas.
Under normal atmospheric pressure oxygen is a liquid at temperatures ranging from -218.79 degrees Celsius to -182.96 degrees Celsius. This works out to -361.82 degrees Fahrenheit to -297.33 degrees Fahrenheit.
um... the partial pressure at the boiling point always must be equal to the vapor pressure. This is true for all substances.Added:The partial pressure of a pure (100%) gaseous substance boiling from its pure liquid is 100% of total pressure, because its fully pure, so what else could be there.
To turn solid oxygen into liquid oxygen, you need to apply pressure and lower the temperature. Solid oxygen (O2) transitions directly to liquid oxygen at a temperature of -183 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This process is known as liquefaction.
Pure oxygen is stored as a liquid under pressure because it allows for a higher density of oxygen to be stored in a smaller volume compared to gaseous oxygen. This makes it more space-efficient for storage and transportation purposes. Additionally, oxygen in liquid form can be quickly converted back to a gas for use in various applications.

A sol'n under HIGH pressure has more gas in it. The high pressure is working against the much smaller vapor pressure of the liquid. If they equal then the liquid is at it's boiling point. Additionally applying pressure to a solution keeps dissolved gasses inside the solution such as Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide (Think of a Cola can. It is stored under pressure and the fizz stays in the liquid. Then you open the can and release the high pressure and the carbon dioxide starts to bubble out of the solution. It was not doing this before you opened the can and lowered the overall pressure)
The main three engines use liquid hydrogen and an oxygen oxidizer. These are delivered under pressure to fuel the main engines.A space shuttle uses a combination of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Solid rocket boosters use a rubberized compound of aluminum and perchlorate oxidizer.Orbiter main engines use liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen that is stored in the external tank.Hydrogen fuel is burned with oxygen-rocket engine.
Under normal temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions propane is gaseous. However, when the temperature is reduced to below −42.09 °C or when it is stored under high pressure (approx 177 psi), it takes the form of a liquid.
Yes, oxygen can exist in a liquid state at very low temperatures. Oxygen liquefies at around -183°C under normal atmospheric pressure. Liquid oxygen is used in various industrial and medical applications.
Anhydrous ammonia is typically stored as a gas under pressure, but it can be liquefied by compressing it at a temperature below its critical temperature of 132.4 °F. Liquid ammonia requires pressure to remain in its liquid state, and it is often used as a refrigerant or in industrial processes.
Butane is found as a gas at room temperature and pressure, but can be stored in a liquid form under pressure. It is not found naturally as a solid.
Pressurized oxygen is oxygen that is stored in a container under high pressure. It is often used in medical settings to deliver concentrated oxygen to patients with respiratory issues, as well as in industry for processes that require high levels of oxygen.
Under a pressure of 1 atm, solid oxygen will sublime when heated. This is because the triple point of oxygen is at a pressure lower than 1 atm, so heating solid oxygen at 1 atm will cause it to bypass the liquid phase and transition directly to a gas.
Yes, but under atmospheric pressure it must be cooled to 90 Kelvin, about -183 Celsius.
