Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure

Physics

<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q  (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in)  and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

​Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Two objects are electrically charged. The net charge on one object is doubled. Therefore, the electric force _____.
creativ13 [48]
If net charge on one object is doubled, then electric force will also get double. It is because they are directly proportional to each other.

Hope this helps!
