Oxygen is much more dense than ethyne. This is why a test tube full of ethyne would be held upside down so the ethyne doesnt escape into the air.
Oxygen is less dense than selenium. Oxygen has a density of about 1.43 grams per cubic centimeter, while selenium has a density of about 4.81 grams per cubic centimeter.
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Helium, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (least to most dense)
The chemical formula of ethyne (acerylene) is C2H2 - two hydrogen atoms.
Ethyne
Steel is more dense than oxygen. The density of steel is about 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter, whereas the density of oxygen is about 0.0013 grams per cubic centimeter.
more space for air (oxygen)
(most dense to least dense) gold, mercury, water, oxygen
Pears do not float in water because the pear is more dense than the water. The pear has a high water content, therefore making it more dense. For example, apples float because they are less dense than the water.
It is the balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene (or ethyne).
By combustion ethyne is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.
Oxygen is less dense than selenium. Oxygen has a density of about 1.43 grams per cubic centimeter, while selenium has a density of about 4.81 grams per cubic centimeter.
One bottle would have more pure oxygen then the other one, since oxygen is more dense then air, and will not rise into the atmosphere or combine with air quick
Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.
Because hydrogen gas is less dense than air(mostly nitrogen and oxygen), and the less dense gas flows to go above the more dense(and escape the atmosphere).
Helium, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (least to most dense)
For any gas, at most temperatures and pressures, the number of particles in a given volume is the same (based on the Ideal Gas Law -- see the Related Questions to the left for more information). The density is defined as the mass divided by volume, and therefore the density of a gas depends only on the mass of the particles. Since molecular oxygen is heavier than the average weight of air, which is largely composed of molecular nitrogen (which is lighter) and molecular oxygen, then oxygen is denser than air.Based on the composition of air (see the Related Questions to the left), the average molecular weight of air is 28.97 grams per mole (which is dominated by the molecular weight of N2, which is 28.0134 g/mole because the atmosphere is nearly 80% N2). The molecular weight of oxygen, O2, is 32.0 grams per mole which is just slightly heavier. Therefore, oxygen is just slightly more dense than air, but not by much. In comparison, the molecular weight of helium, He, is only 4.003 g/mole, which is much lighter than air!~air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide
