1. What is oxygen gas?

Oxygen (O₂) is a key chemical element that exists in both gaseous and liquid states. In the Earth’s atmosphere, oxygen accounts for 21%. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and sparingly soluble in water. Oxygen is heavier than air and liquefies at -183°C.

2. Applications of oxygen gas

Daily life: Oxygen is essential for the survival of humans and animals.

Medical applications:

• Oxygen cylinders are indispensable in cases of respiratory distress, hypoxia, and surgical procedures, helping sustain patient health and life.
  

• Mountain climbers and deep-sea divers use compressed oxygen tanks to compensate for reduced ambient O₂ pressure.

Industrial applications:

• Oxygen cylinders are critical in high-temperature metallurgical processes, facilitating carbon-to-CO conversion and iron oxide reduction to produce pure iron.
  

• Oxygen is commonly stored in 40-liter cylinders, which are also used for metal cutting and oxy-acetylene welding.

Aerospace applications: Liquid oxygen serves as a powerful rocket propellant and supports life support systems in spacecraft, aircraft, and submarines.
