What is a gaseous substance that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature?

A lot of substances change state to a gas at room temperature. The most obvious one that springs to mind is Dry Ice (Frozen Carbon Dioxide). This is used a lot in theatrical and movie sets to create the low blanket of swirling fog, which is actually the moisture condensing out of the air due to being cooled to below its Dew Point by the thawing of the Dry Ice.
Another way of asking this question would be "What gases change to a different state when cooled to below room temperature?" The answer to this is "All of them" Depending on how low you cool the air, different gases condense (or in the case of CO2, solidify) as you lower the temperature (assuming constant pressure), in order of decreasing temperature they are Carbon Dioxide (-78.2°C), Oxygen (-183°C), Nitrogen (-196°C) and Hydrogen (-253°C).

∙ 9y agoA gaseous substance that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature is called vapor. It is diffused or suspended in the air.

What is the state of matter of hydrogen chloride at room temperature?
Hydrogen chloride is a GAS at RTP. However it readily dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid at RTP. Hence it can be mistakenly thought of as a liquid.
What is the difference between the atmosphere of earth and space?
An atmosphere implies the presence of a gaseous substance (such as air, in the earth's atmosphere, which is primarily made up of nitrogen and oxygen). Space is defined as the absence of atmosphere (as pure space consists of no solid, liquid or gaseous substance).
Are melting and boiling points of a substance the same?
The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".
When changing from a solid to a liquid the magic temperature for the substance is called?
melting point
Melting point of water?
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which solid state of a substance co exist in equilibrium with its liquid state. It is also called the freezing point (melting is the same process as freezing, just in the opposite direction, and so the temperature is identical).See Web LinksSee the Web Links for "Answers.com: Melting point" below for more information.The melting point is a point where a solid begins to heat and lose mass. It generally changes from a solid state to a liquid state.
What does vapor describe?
vapor describes the gaseous state of substance that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature as in water vapor.
What is the gaseous form of a substance which exist as a liquid at room temperature known as?
water is the substance
Can a liquid substance diffuse in another liquid substance a gaseous in liquid a gaseous in gaseous?
Yes, all of them.
What is the gaseous form of a substance which exists as a liquid at a room temperature known as?
You think to vapours of a liquid.
What is the substance of boiling point?
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from liquid state to gaseous or vapor state.
What is the tripple point of a substance?
The temperature AND pressure at which the solid, liquid, and gaseous state can all coexist.
What temperature at which a substance in the liquid phase transforms to the gaseous phase refers to the substances?
boiling point
Is gas a form of matter that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature?
Neither. A gas is a form of matter that is generally gaseous at room temperature.
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure conditions at which?
... the substance can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases all at the same time.
Temperature at which a substance boils?
Every substance has their own boiling point.
Which is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous and liquid and solid form?
earth is the only planet where the same substance can exist in gaseous , liquid , and solid form
Does liquid oxygen react with gaseous oxygen?
No. Liquid oxygen and gaseous oxygen are the same substance, just in different states.
