Every time you talk to someone, the sound of your voice is going through H2O.

Can sound energy pass through gas?
Yes, sound energy can propagate through gas ( that's the reason we can hear as sound energy travels through the ear to the human ear.)
Does sound retain most volume when travelling through a solid liquid or gas?
I think I'm going to say gas. One reason of that is because, gas can transmit sound and if you stick your head in water and shout something people that are next to you will only hear a mumble, gas doesnt do that.
What temperature does sound travel faster in?
That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature. The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.
How can a solid turn into a gas with out going through the liguid state?
i don't really have an exact answer. but i have an example- dry ice-solid right to a gas. it is called sublimation.
How does sound travel through gas compared to a liqid?
Sound travels much less in a gas compared to a liquid, because liquids are more dense, giving the sound waves more to reverberate through.
Is sound waves a gas?
no, it's a mechanism for transmitting sound. and sound isn't limited to gas either. It can pass through solids (you can listen through a wall or a door) and through liquids (you can still hear when your ears are submerged in a bath or a pool)
How does sound travel through gas?
Sound travels by sound waves. Sound waves are vibrations of the gas particles which result in repeated squeezings/pullings away of the gas molecules. We usually say compressions and rarefactions. If you are in the presence of sound waves, they will enter your ears and make your eardrum move in and out very slightly. This movement is carried to the auditory nerve by tiny bones in your inner ear. The auditory nerves carry the tiny electrical impulses that the brain then deciphers as sound. The most common example of sound traveling through a gas is always around us, and that 'gas' is air. (really a number of gases mixed together.) This is why you cannot hear sounds in outer space . . . there IS no gas or anything else to carry sound waves.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
What is an example of sublimation that is not dry ice?
Iodine crystals will sublimate to iodine gas without going through a perceivable liquid state.
Does sound travel faster through a liquid or gas?
it travels fast in gases
Does sound only traveled through gases?
No. Sound will travel through any sort of matter, gas, solid, or liquid.
What speed does sound travel through a gas?
Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.
