Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Plasma has been referred to as the fourth state of matter and is a combination of neutral atoms, free electrons, and atomic nuclei. Plasmas can react to electromagnetic forces and flow freely like a liquid or a gas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Liquid O2 is produced by separating it from a liquefied air mixture at a temperature below its boiling point or critical temperature (183 C or 297 F). After it is separated from air, the O2 must be maintained as a liquid by being stored in insulated containers below its boiling point. As long as the temperature does not exceed 183 C, the O2 will remain liquid at atmospheric pres-sure. If higher temperatures are needed, higher pressures must be used. If at any time the liquid O2 exceeds its critical temperature of 118.8 C, it will convert immediately to a gas.
