What happens to the molecules of a gas when pressure is applied?

If we apply pressure to the particles of matter then the particles will come closer and the inter molecular space between them will also be shortend up and they will change their state from gas to liquid.

∙ 14y agothe gas compresses and becomes more tightly packed(example:nitrogen in a compression thing{see below} it would become more see able or thicker)

What happens to gas when you add pressure?
Gas molecules are spread out. When they are placed under pressure they condense into a liquid.
Why is there no gas pressure inside a vacuum?
Gas pressure is caused by the molecules of gas striking the walls of a container, or in the case of Earth's atmosphere, the molecules of air hitting the earth. In a vacuum, there are no gas molecules. No molecules, no pressure.
Which gas can be compressed and expanded?
An ideal gas can be both compressed and expanded. In regards to ideal gas, when the gas is expanded or compressed, the molecules will remain the same. In order for the count of molecules to change, gas would need to be added. The molecule count can also change if gas escapes.
What happens when the temperature of a gas increased?
If you increase the temperature of a gas, its particles (atoms or molecules) will speed up. If it is in a closed container, the pressure will also increase.
What exactly is gas pressure?
Force of gas molecules colliding with the container
What happens to gas when pressure is applied to it?
the pressure and the temperature increases, and the volume is reduced.
What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated and why?
The molecules of a gas move faster when heated so the pressure increases.
What happens to the speed of the gas particles when pressure is applied?
is move themselves

What happens when the pressure of the gas is lowered?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What happens when the pressure of a gas lowering?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What cause the pressure by gas molecules on their container?
What causes the pressure exerted by gas molecules on their container? idk
What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a contianer ifthe temperature of the gas decreases?
from the gas laws and Charles 2nd law, it can be concluded that pressure is directly proportional to temperature..hence if the temp decreases; pressure also decreases as the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases; the collisions decrease hence pressure of the molecules inside the container decrease.
Which gas can be compressed and expanded?
An ideal gas can be both compressed and expanded. In regards to ideal gas, when the gas is expanded or compressed, the molecules will remain the same. In order for the count of molecules to change, gas would need to be added. The molecule count can also change if gas escapes.
When pressure is applied to a gas the volume of the gas does what?
It decreases
What gas is applied in pressure cooker?
The gas is air.
