Oxygen cylinders come in various sizes including D, E, M, J, and K. The specific size is often measured in liters of oxygen capacity, with common sizes being 415, 682, and 1590 liters.
Oxygen cylinders are typically larger and heavier than acetylene cylinders due to the higher pressure at which oxygen is stored. Oxygen cylinders may also contain more volume of gas compared to acetylene cylinders.
An oxygen "tank" has three main components: * Cylinder-Cylinders come in many different sizes. Some are small and are more typically used in rescue situations, while larger ones are used to either fill smaller cylinders, or are mounted in ambulances. * Regulator- Regulators are used to control the rate at which oxygen leaves the cylinder. It also reflects the amount of pressure that the contents are under. The pressure gauge also provides information on the amount of oxygen remaining in the cylinder. There are also different types of regulators; some are meant for larger cylinders that fill smaller ones, and others are meant for cylinders that are used to deliver oxygen to users. * Oxygen Delivery Device- This component is what provides oxygen to the user. These come in forms of: nasal cannula, simple face mask, partial rebreather mask, and the nonrebreather mask. There are also other types of Oxygen delivery devices. However, these are more common to the prehospital care and in hospital care personnel. Oxygen delivery devices also have tubing on them that is attached to the device at one end, with the tubing at the other end meant to be placed on an opening on the regulator at the other.

Oxygen cylinders are typically green in color to help differentiate them from other gas cylinders. This color coding is used to ensure that oxygen cylinders are easily identifiable and handled correctly in healthcare facilities and other settings.
The atoms are different sizes.
The compressibility of gases allows them to be stored in high-pressure oxygen cylinders, making it possible to transport and supply large quantities of oxygen to hospitals efficiently.
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders at high altitudes where the air is thin and oxygen levels are low to prevent altitude sickness and hypoxia. Spacemen carry oxygen cylinders in space where there is no breathable air available, ensuring they have a supply of oxygen to breathe in their spacecraft or during spacewalks.
no because of the different engine sizes and the ports wouldn't match up to the cylinders, you would loose horse power and have a restricting exhaust
The simple answer is ... you don't. A majority of scuba dives use compressed air in the cylinders. Therefore you don't need "oxygen" cylinders. HOWEVER, if you are a diver that is diving on Nitrox, in which divers change the amount of oxygen vs nitrogen in their air, then your tank needs to be "oxygen clean" because you are putting oxygen in first, then nitrogen.
Yes
the air becomes rarefied and has a very low oxygen
