generate questions: Concentrated O
2 will allow combustion to proceed rapidly and energetically. Steel pipes and storage vessels used to store and transmit both gaseous and liquid oxygen will act as a fuel; and therefore the design and manufacture of O
2 systems requires special training to ensure that ignition sources are minimized. The fire that killed the Apollo 1 crew in a launch pad test spread so rapidly because the capsule was pressurized with pure O
2 but at slightly more than atmospheric pressure, instead of the 1⁄3 normal pressure that would be used in a mission.[k]
What chemical element was the cause of the Apollo 1 disastrous outcome? {sep_token} ______ In both liquid and gas form can fastly result in an exlposion. {sep_token} To ensure safety of future space missions Oxygen was used at _____ of the normal pressure. {sep_token} To reduce the chances of combustion ___ is required for safely handeling pure O. {sep_token} What will concentrated oxygen greatly speed up? {sep_token} Because of the danger inherent in concentrated oxygen, what is a concern about keeping it? {sep_token} What does the transport and storage demand for safety in dealing with oxygen? {sep_token} Who did a pressurized oxygen cabin fire kill? {sep_token}
