Question

At what temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) will liquid oxygen (LOX) vaporize into a gaseous state?

A. -100°F
B. -200°F
C. -300°F
D. -400°F

Answer 1

Liquid oxygen (LOX) will vaporize into a gaseous state at -100°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liquid oxygen (LOX) will vaporize into a gaseous state at extremely low temperatures. The correct answer is A. -100°F. At this temperature, oxygen transforms from a liquid to a gas because the vapor pressure of oxygen exceeds the atmospheric pressure.

This is an example of a substance undergoing sublimation where it directly changes from a solid or liquid to a gas without passing through the intermediate liquid state.
