Oxygen is a 1999 film, directed and written by Richard Shepard. The film follows a troubled cop, Madeline Foster (played by Maura Tierney) as she pursues a kidnapper who calls himself Harry Houdini (Adrien Brody). The film was shot on location in New York City.
"Harry Houdini" (Adrien Brody) has kidnapped and buried alive a rich businessman's wife. He demands $1 million in cash from the woman's husband in return for the release of the location of her burial site before she runs out of oxygen. He also states that if police involvement is initiated, he will ensure she is never found alive. As expected, however, police involvement is initiated and Detective Madeline Foster (Maura Tierney) is assigned with the task of finding the buried woman and catching Houdini.
It is quickly realized though that Houdini, in fact, wanted the police to get involved so he could commit a second kidnapping - that of Foster. When Houdini is finally caught as the result of a car chase involving him and Detective Foster, she attempts to get him to reveal the location of his buried victim. When Foster's initial interrogation of Houdini proves unsuccessful, the FBI are assigned to take over the case, although they do not have any more luck. In a plot twist, it is revealed that Houdini has already committed a murder, that of his accomplice. He now has nothing to lose and the police realize the death of the buried woman would not be as significant as first thought.
Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table and is a highly reactive nonmetal and oxidizing agent that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with most elements. By mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O
2. Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, monitoring of atmospheric oxygen levels show a global downward trend, because of fossil-fuel burning. Oxygen is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust as part of oxide compounds such as silicon dioxide, making up almost half of the crust's mass.
Many major classes of organic molecules in living organisms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fats, contain oxygen, as do the major inorganic compounds that are constituents of animal shells, teeth, and bone. Most of the mass of living organisms is oxygen as it is a part of water, the major constituent of lifeforms. Oxygen is used in cellular respiration and released by photosynthesis, which uses the energy of sunlight to produce oxygen from water. It is too chemically reactive to remain a free element in air without being continuously replenished by the photosynthetic action of living organisms. Another form (allotrope) of oxygen, ozone (O
3), strongly absorbs UVB radiation and consequently the high-altitude ozone layer helps protect the biosphere from ultraviolet radiation, but is a pollutant near the surface where it is a by-product of smog. At even higher low earth orbit altitudes, sufficient atomic oxygen is present to cause erosion for spacecraft.
(Rated R) A masochistic cop, who hides her predilection from her cop husband, gets involved in pursuing a kidnapper nicknamed Harry for Harry Houdini, who has kidnapped a rich woman and has buried her somewhere in Manhattan while demanding a ransom from her tycoon husband. Failure to pay the ransom within 24 hours will lead the kidnapper to abandoning the woman.
Brody plays Harry, a man who kidnaps a rich man's wife (Laila Robins) for ransom & buries her alive.

Useful for CBSE, ICSE, NCERT & International Students Grade : 8 Subject :Chemistry Lesson :Air Topic: Chemical Properties of Oxygen Oxygen is a highly reactive element, highly paramagnetic, and is easily capable of combining with other elements. One of oxygen's most important chemical properties is that it supports combustion Oxygen also combines with elements at room temperature, for example, the formation of rust. Decaying is an example of oxygen reacting with compounds. Carbon dioxide and water are the main products of decay.

Photosynthesis originated as a genetic mutation that allowed simple cyanobacteria to produce their own food source with only the power of the sun. However, the resulting waste product of this process, oxygen, was toxic to almost all life on the young planet. This oxygen created by cyanobacteria's new superpower also reacted with the existing atmosphere and caused a dramatic period of cold climate known as "Snowball Earth." When the planet emerged from this icy condition 200 million years later, the life that remained found itself in a warm, oxygen-rich environment perfect for the evolution of multicellular organisms.

COD is an empiric laboratory assay which indirectly measures the amount of total organic matter (biodegradable and non-biodegradable) contained in a water sample. This assay is the most widely used method for the assessment of water quality.
Learn the basics about the properties of oxygen. Oxygen is a gas, it has no smell, colour, or taste; but without it, we as humans would not be able to inhabit planet Earth. When cooled to a very low temperature, it will form a liquid and a solid which are both pale blue. Oxygen makes up 21% of Earth’s atmosphere, It has taken many millions of years to makeup the composition of Today’s, atmosphere but we seem to now have the perfect balance, Oxygen is used by the Human body in a process called Respiration. When you breath in, the air that enters your body is held in the lungs. Some of the Oxygen you breath in is taken into the bloodstream and is transported to parts of the body where it is needed. Respiration takes place in the cells of your body. Oxygen combines with glucose ,buildin...
Cartoon, actual experiment then chemical calculation and explanation
In pure oxygen, iron becomes very flammable.
I take each breath as if it is my first
I hold it there, so deep inside me
'Til I'm about to burst
I speak each word as if it is your name
I move my lips... I see the whisper
Stir the gentle flame
Your heart beats and so does mine
Your love moves
And I know I'm alive
CHORUS
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in
I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
I take each breath as if it is my last
You never know what came so slowly
Could leave us, oh, so fast
I take each step as if it is to lyou
I hear your voice
I feel your presence
In everything I do
My soul sleeps, your love revives
Our hearts meet
And I know I'm alive
The air is thick, the flower sweet
The shadow comes down
Tonight the moon is at my feet
And I breathe you in
I breathe you in
I breathe you in to me
I'm nobody without you
