Which among the following gas is stored in liquid form?

A
CO2
B
N2O
C
Cyclopropane
D
O2
High-Yield Explanation
Storage Nitrous oxide is stored as a liquid in French blue cylinders with a gauge pressure of 51 bar at 20?C, which therefore bears no correlation to cylinder content until all remaining N2O is in the gaseous phase. N2O is usually stored below its critical temperature and so it is in simultaneous liquid and vapor phases.
