Reactive and flammable gasses become more volatile when put under pressure, as when compressed, leading to more explosive results when ignited. If it is not your intention to ignite the gas for an explosion, it would be best not to heat a compressed (thereby more powerful) gas.
Heat may also increase the volatility of the gas itself and eventually could ignite the gas. For chemically unstable gases, heat can change the chemical composition of the gas itself, which can result in violent reactions, including ignition and explosion.

Which gas can be compressed and expanded?
An ideal gas can be both compressed and expanded. In regards to ideal gas, when the gas is expanded or compressed, the molecules will remain the same. In order for the count of molecules to change, gas would need to be added. The molecule count can also change if gas escapes.
Define compressed natural gas?
Compressed natural gas is natural gas under pressure which remains clear, odorless, and non-corrosive. This is when natural gas is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.
A gas in a piston is compressed from a pressure P1123000 Nm2 and volume V11.25 m3 to a pressure P2445000 Nm2 and a volume V20.81 m3 There is no heat transferred to the environment The compress?
I do not believe you can compress a gas without any heat being generated to the environment.
Why does gas compress so easily?
gases have large inter cellular spaces between them so when they are compressed under high pressure and low temperature the particles lose energy due to loss of heat and stop random motion and come closer and hence gas can be compressed easily
How is pressure affected when a gas is compressed?
When a gas is compressed, so volume is decreased, the pressure increases. P=1/V
Why should you never leave a spray can in a fire or leave it in direct sunlight?
Because a spray can (when full) is filled with compressed gases, and when they are heated they expand (general gas law), which has the potential to make said cans explode, sending shrapnel into the surrounding area. Furthermore, most compressed gas cans have a form of propellant that is highly flammable, so not only will it explode, it will also turn into a very large fireball (if near open flame) which can potentially harm nearby people. Compressed gas cans + heat -> a bad idea.
What causes the heat to grow in a proto-star?
Compression. Whenever anything is compressed, it heats up. In a proto-star, clouds of hydrogen gas are compressed by gravitational attraction, and the compression heats the gas.
Which gas is called compressed natural gas?
CNG is compressed natural gas
How the ac work?
AC uses electric power to transport the heat from the inside of the house to the outside of the house. AC uses a special gas/liquid that cools down when expanded and heats up when compressed. The gas is expanded inside the house, it cools down, takes on the heat from the air in the room. The gas is then moved outside the house where it is compressed, heated and releases the heat.
Which can be compressed more easily gas or liquid?
gas can be compressed easier.
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, a gas can be easily compressed.
Which categories is usage of compressed air and gas divided into?
The three major categories of usage for compressed air and gas are: compressed air and gas for process services, compressed air for power, and compressed air for general industrial applications.
A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.75 to a final volume of 1.21 by an external pressure of 1.00 During the compression the gas releases 121 of heat?
121
Full form of cng?

How do you make a refrigerator?
No idea, thts y im askin. The principle of refrigeration is that a liquid needs a lot of heat energy to turn to a gas. This is called latent heat and will have to come out of the gas when it condenses. Gases under pressure condense at a higher temperature than gases under less pressure. So, a liquid is allowed to evaporate in the area you want cooled, taking a lot of heat, then the gas is compressed and condenses, giving up the heat at a place where the excess heat is not a problem. In a house fridge, the heat is taken out of the inside and released from the coils at the back.
Why does a tire feel cold when you take pressure out of it?
This is a result of something called adiabatic cooling. When a gas is decompressed, the temperature drops. A gas will also heat up when compressed.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
