Best Answer

Gases condense when they are cooled to a specific temperature. Gases have loose atomic structures. Cooling causes the atomic structure to tighten and the density of the gas to increase, creating a liquid, flowing structure. Further cooling turns the liquid into a dense, rigid form, known as a solid.

well gas is created when highly energized molecules vibrate. It transfers into a liquid when they loose that energy and vibrate in smaller motions.

What happens to the atoms of a gas when the gas is cooled?

The atoms loose kenetic energy and bounce around slower. This causes the gas to have less preasure and, if cooled enough, can cause the gas to condense into a liquid or sublimate into a solid.


Why must helium be cooled to 4k before it will condense explain the fundamental process?

The single atoms of helium gas are small, and has small surface area. They must be cooled to 4K before their attractive forces cause them to condense.


When gas is cooled it?

It contracts and takes up less space or has less preasure. If it is cooled enough it can condense (turn into a liquid) or sublimate (turn into a solid).


What happens when gas cool down?

When cooled enough it will condense into a liquid. The required temperature changes with the substance.


Why does a gass expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When a gas is heated up, the particles within the gas start to move faster, going farther apart (expansion). When a gas is cooled, the particles slow down and it starts to condense (contract), and if cooled enough, into a liquid.


What happens to a real gas as it cools from room temp to 0 dgrees kelvin?

when cooled or compressed these real gasses eventually condense in to a liquid phase


What happens when air molcules are cooled?

As air molecules are cooled, they condense and form a liquid, and if cooled even further, will form a solid.


What can go from a gas to a liquid?

A gas condenses into liquid phase if its cooled below its critical temperatureand pressurized. If pressure is above the gas triple point pressure, coolingis enough to condense the gas to liquid phase.A gas below its critical temperature is called a vapour.


What would have to happen to condense oxygen to air?

Condense it from what??? Its a gas.


Does temperature increase or decrease when going from liquid to gas?

The temperature decreases as the gas (vapour) turns back into a liquid. For instance, the hot water vapour from a kettle can be cooled so as to condense back into water.


Why does water vapor condense?

The air needs to be cooled, the amount depending on how much water vapour is in it. When it's cooled sufficiently the water vapour will condense on solid things as water, or become very small droplets (fog/cloud). When this happens in the early mornings we call it dew, and the temperature at which the water will condense is known as the dewpoint.


When moist air is cooled below its dew point water will?

The water will condense forming dew.
