What happened to the temperature of a gas when it is compressed?

In general, if we compress a gas, the temperature of that gas will increase. The compression increases the pressure of the gas.
There is a bit more, depending on how an investigator choses to look at the problem.
If the pressure remains constant and the volume goes down, the temperature goes down.
However, if the pressure goes up while the volume is reduced, the temperature will stay constant.

What happens to the temperature of a gas that is squeezed or compressed?
If you compress a gas the temperature increases
What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?
The temperature and speed remain constant.
When air is compressed into a closed container what happened to the temperature?
The temp will increase.
Is LPG a solid liquid or a gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas is a gas at room temperature but is compressed into a liquid for transportation.
How do you calculate temperature rise of compressed air?
by using ideal gas law
How does the temperature of gas change when it is compressed if the process is adiabatic?
In an adiabatic process, the temperature is increased when it is compressed. There is an increase in internal kinetic energy, and because temperature is related to kinetic energy, it is also increased.
How do you compress natural gas?
Natural gas is compressed when it is cooled. When cooled to a temperature of -162 Degrees, it becomes liquid.
What happens the density of a gas as it is compressed?
The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.
Four liters of gas at atmospheric pressure is compressed into a .85 liter gas cylinder What is the pressure of the compressed gas if the temperature remains constant?
4.7 times the ambient air pressure which is ? Need more data...
What would be the kinetic energy of particles of gas when it compressed in a cylinder?
When a gas is compressed, its temperature tends to increase. That means that the average kinetic energy per particle also increases.
How does the temperature of gas change when it is compressed when it expands?
Gas is a loosely bound group of molecules that have changed phase from solid to liquid to gas through an increase in thermal energy. Once it has reached the gas phase, heating gas can increase its temperature because the energy will not go into the potential energy of a phase change, but instead the kinetic energy of phase change.
Is natural gas a liquid gas or solid?
Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.
