  2. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    Boiling liquid oxygen. This is a list of gases at standard conditions, which means substances that boil or sublime at or below 25 °C (77 °F) ...

  3. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Argon is extracted industrially by the fractional distillation of liquid air in a cryogenic air separation unit; a process that separates liquid nitrogen, which boils at 77.3 K, from argon, which boils at 87.3 K, and liquid oxygen, which boils at 90.2 K. About 700,000 tonnes of argon are produced worldwide every year. [25] [35]

  4. Potassium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_oxide

    Potassium oxide is produced from the reaction of oxygen and potassium; this reaction affords potassium peroxide, K 2 O 2. Treatment of the peroxide with potassium produces the oxide: [5] K 2 O 2 + 2 K → 2 K 2 O. Alternatively and more conveniently, K 2 O is synthesized by heating potassium nitrate with metallic potassium: 2 KNO 3 + 10 K → 6 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highly_toxic_gases

    Highly Toxic: a gas that has a LC 50 in air of 200 ppm or less. [2] NFPA 704: Materials that, under emergency conditions, can cause serious or permanent injury are given a Health Hazard rating of 3. Their acute inhalation toxicity corresponds to those vapors or gases having LC 50 values greater than 1,000 ppm but less than or equal to 3,000 ppm ...

  6. Industrial gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_gas

    A gas regulator attached to a nitrogen cylinder. Industrial gases are the gaseous materials that are manufactured for use in industry.The principal gases provided are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, hydrogen, helium and acetylene, although many other gases and mixtures are also available in gas cylinders.

  7. Ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

    In most EOG methods, the hydrogen gas will be removed to leave oxygen and ozone as the only reaction products. Therefore, EOG can achieve higher dissolution in water without other competing gases found in corona discharge method, such as nitrogen gases present in ambient air. This method of generation can achieve concentrations of 20–30% and ...

  8. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  9. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    Potassium metal can react violently with water producing KOH and hydrogen gas. 2 K(s) + 2 H 2 O(l) → 2 KOH(aq) + H 2 (g)↑ A reaction of potassium metal with water. Hydrogen is produced, and with potassium vapor, burns with a pink or lilac flame. Strongly alkaline potassium hydroxide is formed in solution.
