Because gas molecules will be further apart from each other than those of a liquid, the same amount of substance will have a different volume as a gas than a liquid. If you're transporting or storing a substance that can be either a gas or a liquid, it is much more efficient to keep it as a liquid. By doing this, you will be able to have more of the substance in one place. For example, if you had to store 3 moles of nitrogen, it would be easier to have 0.1 L of liquid than 20 L of gas (numbers not accurate).
In order to keep a substance (like nitrogen) that will always naturally occur as a gas, it has to be subject to extreme pressure within a container. (In the case of nitrogen, a certain amount of cooling of the gas/liquid must also take place). In the case of propane tanks, there will be an opening where pressure is slowly released. When the pressure goes back down, the liquid inside will go back to being a gas.
The liquid in a gas container is sort of like "concentrated gas", which can be "unconcentrated" by releasing the pressure.

How gas is filled in lpg cylinder?
The gas is liquified under pressure and it it takes the entire avalaible place inside the cylinder. thus gas is filled in a cylinder
In lpg cylinder the gas filled is in the liquified state?
Yes. LPG - (liquified petroleum gas)
How a water-filled graduated cylinder is inverted in a pan of water?
Gases that are relatively insoluble in water are collected by water displacement. The gas pushes the water down and out of the water-filled gas-collecting vessel. The gas-collecting vessel (generally a flask or test tube) is first filled with water, covered with a glass plate or plastic wrap (no air bubbles must enter the vessel, and then inverted into a deep pan or tray half-filled with water. The glass plate or plastic wrap is removed, and the tubing from the gas generator is inserted into the mouth of the gas-collecting vessel.
Give reason in LPG cylinder the gas filled is in the liquefied state?
To pack more gas into the container it is required to liquefy under pressure
If a container is half filled with a liquid and sealed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure then what happens inside the container?
because the other half is not empty it is filled with gas
Why gas cylinder cannot be half filled?
Because a gas will expand to fill the other half. Gas has no defined volume. Liquids do.
How gas is filled in lpg cylinder?

How do you put gas into a gas cylinder?
The gas in the liquified state under pressure and it can be filled inside the cylinder. Then it takes the entire available place in side the cylinder. This way gas filled in side the cylinder.
How is gas filled in cylinders?
The gas is liquified under pressure and it it takes the entire avalaible place inside the cylinder. thus gas is filled in a cylinder
When Compressed Natural Gas is filled in a cylinder will the cylinder get heated up?
If the gas is compressed into the cylinder, yes. However if the gas is already pre-compressed (to the point of liquefaction) and simply decanted into the cylinder, there will be little to no heating of the receptacle cylinder.
Which gas is filled in the cylinder of the submarine going to the bottom of the sea?
hydrogens
In lpg cylinder the gas filled is in the liquified state?
Yes. LPG - (liquified petroleum gas)
Can biogas be filled in gas cylinders for commercial use?
yes it can filled in LPG cylinder but how will you convert into liquid form
Why does empty cooking gas cylinder feel lighter?
It is filled with helium now.

How much gas can be put into a compressed gas cylinder?
When we fill a cylinder with compressed gas, we do so based on a strict set of guidelines. The cylinder must be the correct type for that gas. It must have a "recent" hydrostatic test date, or in cannot be filled per procedures and codes. It must be filled at a "legit" filling station (with proper equipment) by someone who is trained and knowledgeable in the transfer of compressed gas. The amount of gas that can be put in a cylinder is usually measured in cubic feet at a given pressure. That pressure will not exceed the rated pressure of the cyclinder. (Ambient temperature, or some specified temperature, is assumed.) Calculations can be made as to how much gas is in a cylinder, and they involve the type of gas, the temperature of the gas, the pressure of the gas, and the volume into which it is compressed. Cylinders come in a wide range of sizes (volumes) as well as a range of rated pressures, and the vessels are stamped with those ratings, as well as the date of the hydrostatic test that determined the fitness of the cylinder. The cylinder being filled will heat up if it is being filled by a compressor instead of from a storage tank (like at a SCUBA tank filling station). There are some other variables that must be taken into consideration when filling a tank with compressed gas. Fatalities occur now and then that are associated with the failure of a tank. As there is no definite answer for the question owing to the lack of specifics. Only a general reply can be made.
