What conditions are necessary converting gas to liquid?

Certain gases will require you to compress the gas (i.e. raise it to a higher pressure) & cool it down to a low enough temperature that the gas starts to condense. Water vapor will condense at normal atmospheric pressures when it is cool enough. (When water condenses on the outside of a cold glass).


Did oceans form as soon as the earth formed?

No, when the Earth first formed it was molten, it had to cool before liquid water could collect in its surface. There is also a thought that Earth's water may not have formed form the initial materials making up the Earth but been delivered to the Earth by comet or asteroids impacting the Earth later.


How do you change a gas into a liquid give an example?

To change from a gas into a liquid you must cool the substance. For example: water vapour to water.


What is a liquid that condenses on glass when you breath on it?

The liquid that condenses on glass when you breathe on it is water. The water is a condensate, and the cooler glass causes water in air we exhale to cool and condense.


How can ice water and steam be three states of a substance and not different substances?

Well you can prove they are the same substance by experimenting. If you boil liquid water it turns into steam and if you then cool the steam, it turns back into liquid water. If you cool liquid water it will freeze and turn into ice and then if you warm the ice it will melt and tun back into liquid water. Thus the common substance in all three states is the water. ------------------------------------------------------------- In general substance are either solid, liquid or gaseous at normal temperatures and pressures and if you heat the solids they will turn into liquid then gas and if you cool the gases they will tun into liquid and then solids. Solid, liquid and gas are 3 of the possible states of matter (there are other states possible)

How does the location of the earth makes it possible for life to survive?

The distance of the earth from the sun is enough to heat and cool the water in the earth. And the distance makes it possible for life to survive because it is the only distance where water is liquid. Try looking at the other planets in our solar system. Some has water in gaseous state. And some has it in solid state. Earth is the only planet in our solar system to have water in liquid state.

How long have thunderstorms been around?

Thunderstorms have likely been around for as long as Earth has been cool enough to support liquid water in its atmosphere, which is more than 4 billion years.


When was earth cool enough to hold cool water in the precambrian?

What are Examples of 3 basics of matter?

Water is a liquid. If you cool water enough it will change phase or state to become ice. If you heat water enough it will change phase or state and become steam


When liquid particles get cool enough what do they become?

A solid then the solid get cool enough and becomes a B.E.C. or Boise Einstien Concentrate.


How to cool a glass of hot liquid?

If the liquid is not very hot, stand it in a container of water. Leave it in a cool place. Direct cool air onto it.

Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling water?

Yes, If you pass liquid nitrogen through water, it will cool the water. It will cool it to the point of freezing and then down to about -300F if you continue to pass it through the ice.
