The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4 + H2<br><br> The mole ratio of zinc to zinc sulfate is
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ratio is 1:1

Explanation:

I do not see any coefficients infront of the reactants and the products, therefore, we can automatically assume that every reactant and product is 1 mole. Don't get confused by the 4 off the O. It just means that 1 mole of sulfate has 1 zinc and 4 oxygens.
