  2. Law of multiple proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_multiple_proportions

    These compounds are known today as nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide respectively. "Nitrous oxide" is 63.3% nitrogen and 36.7% oxygen, which means it has 80 g of oxygen for every 140 g of nitrogen. "Nitrous gas" is 44.05% nitrogen and 55.95% oxygen, which means there are 160 g of oxygen for every 140 g of nitrogen. "Nitric acid ...

  3. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    2 began to accumulate in the atmosphere about 2.5 billion years ago during the Great Oxygenation Event, about a billion years after the first appearance of these organisms. [83] [84] An adult human at rest inhales 1.8 to 2.4 grams of oxygen per minute. [85] This amounts to more than 6 billion tonnes of oxygen inhaled by humanity per year. [g]

  4. Allotropes of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_oxygen

    Triatomic oxygen (ozone, O 3) is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen that is a pale blue gas at standard temperature and pressure. Liquid and solid O 3 have a deeper blue color than ordinary O 2, and they are unstable and explosive. [5] [6] In its gas phase, ozone is destructive to materials like rubber and fabric and is damaging to lung tissue ...

    C 10 O 10 or C 6 O 2 (C 2 O 4) 2, tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone bisoxalate (Verter and others, 1968); stable as a tetrahydrofuran solvate. [43] C 8 O 8 or C 6 O 2 (CO 3) 2, tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone biscarbonate (Nallaiah, 1984); decomposes at about 45–53 °C. [44] C 9 O 9 or C 6 (CO 3) 3, hexahydroxybenzene triscarbonate (Nallaiah, 1984 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus (+) and minus (−) signs.

  7. Geological history of oxygen - Wikipedia

    Stages 4 and 5 (0.85 Ga–present): O 2 sinks filled, the gas accumulates. [1] Although oxygen is the most abundant element in Earth's crust, due to its high reactivity it mostly exists in compound forms such as water, carbon dioxide, iron oxides and silicates.

  8. Empirical formula - Wikipedia

    Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.
