what are the properties of oxygen
Answers
The Physical Properties of Oxygen are as follows:
Color : Colorless
Phase : Gas. Oxygen changes from a gas to a liquid at a temperature of -182.96°C (-297.33°F) when it takes on a slightly bluish color. Liquid oxygen can then be solidified or frozen at a temperature of -218.4°C
Odor : Oxygen is an odorless gas
Taste : A tasteless gas
Conductivity : A poor conductor of heat and electricity
Solubility : Slightly soluble in water, alcohol and some other common liquids
Density : It is denser than air. The density of oxygen is 1.429 grams per liter
Viscosity : Resistance to flow - stickiness. The viscosity is 189 millipoises (at 0°C).
*Allotropic - Allotropes are forms of an element with different physical and chemical properties occurring in two or more crystalline forms in the same physical state.
The Chemical Properties of Oxygen are as follows:
Chemical Formula : O. Oxygen gas (O2). Ozone (O3)
Flammability : Does not burn
Combustion : Supports combustion but does not burn
Compounds : Occurs in many compounds, including water, carbon dioxide, and iron ore
Oxidation : The common reaction in which it unites with another substance is called oxidation. Oxides of some metals form peroxides by the addition of oxygen
Answer:
Oxygen is extremely reactive and forms oxides with nearly all other elements except noble gases. Oxygen dissolves more readily in cold water than warm water.
Explanation:
The reason for this is because, Oxygen is a gas and likes to react strongly with the scents and oxides around it.
