10 uses for oxygen, huh? I can only come up with a few...
1. Breathing normally (air, respiration)
2. Smelting (melting and refining of metals)
3. Welding (oxy-acetylene torch)
4. Controlled oxidation (manufacturing)
5. Rocket propulsion
6. Life support (medical use, firemen, diving, spacecraft)
7. Mining
8. Glass making
9. Water treatment plants
10. ???? Oxygen Bar (entertainment)
I got 10 but there must be more common uses. Look at these web sites and see if you can find more . Good Luck!
