Because you are cooling the gas, you are reducing the heat energy. Without this energy, the molecules cannot move as much and so weak intermolecular forces kick in and they go closer together, changing a gas to a liquid.
Prior to it becoming a liquid, however, the pressure in the container, assuming the container is of constant volume, decreases.

When a gas is cooled, its molecules lose energy and slow down. This causes the gas to condense or liquefy, as the intermolecular forces between the molecules become strong enough to keep them together in a liquid form. If further cooled, the gas may solidify into a solid state.

What happens when you cool a gas?
It becomes liquid.This was discovered by an Indian scientist Dr.Navjosh in 1532 A.D. The speed of motion of the gas molecules (or atoms) is decreased. If the gas is enclosed in a fixed volume, the pressure will decrease. If the gas is at a fixed pressure, the volume will decrease. If cooled sufficiently, the gas may condense into a liquid or directly into a solid, depending on the gas pressure and type of gas.
What happens to gas in a balloon when that gas is heated?
The gas will expand as it is heated.
What happens if you cool steam?
It condenses and becomes liquid.
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gasses as they warm and cool?
Mostly they expand as they warm, contract as they cool.
What happens to a gas's thermal energy as that gas's temperature increases?
It increases.
What happens to a gas when it is put into a container?
the gas starts to bubble up (boil) and when you put cold gases in it it startes to cool down the gas starts to bubble up (boil) and when you put cold gases in it it startes to cool down
What happens when gas cool down?
When cooled enough it will condense into a liquid. The required temperature changes with the substance.
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
What happens to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of gas cool to 100c?
The molecules slow down and begin to change back to the liquid state.
Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?
Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.
How does vapor change to liquid?
It condenses, this is what happens when the particles in a gas cool down. If you breath onto a piece of glass you can see a small amount of condensation
What do you have to do to a gas to get a liquid?
Cool the gas sufficiently and it will liquefy.
What happens to gas as it i cooled below 0 degrees C?
It continues to cool until it reaches it's boilng point. At which it will condense then cool further until it reaches it's melting point. It will then continue to cool until it's entropy is minized at absolute zero.
Do gas stations sell cool whip?
Does why not stop sell cool

What does a liquid cool of to be?
cools to gas
How are gas liquefied?
You cool it down.
