Why gases are not wet?

By definition, a gas is matter which has been heated beyond the liquid state, so it is no longer a liquid or wet. Gases do contain moisture and will become wet (back to a liquid state) if they condense when coming in contact with something of a lower temperature - if you hold a piece of paper over a steaming tea kettle, the paper gets wet.

What is a system that removes certain gases and particles from industrial exhaust?

A system that removes certain gases and particles from industrial exhaust is known as a scrubber. Scrubbers use various methods, such as chemical reactions, to capture and neutralize harmful pollutants, including sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. They can be wet or dry, with wet scrubbers using liquid solutions to absorb gases and dry scrubbers employing solid materials. This technology helps to reduce air pollution and meet environmental regulations.

Why are the test tubes wet when there are oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the test tubes?

The moisture inside the test tubes is most likely due to condensation formed when the gases inside the tubes cool down. As the gases cool, water vapor in the air inside the tube may condense on the walls, resulting in wetness. This condensation is a natural occurrence and does not affect the gases inside the tubes.

Why aren't the alveoli dry and not wet all the time?

The moistness of the alveoli allows for exchange of gases. This is the primary function of the alveoli, and the lungs. Gases can dissolve in water, but they can not dissolve in dry solid material. If the alveoli were dry, oxygen could not diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide could not diffuse out. Such a person would suffocate.
