Can crystallines liquefy under pressure?

Crystallines can liquefy under pressure if it is sufficiently high. Generally the opposite happens where they become more dense and compressed as the pressure increases.


What does air turn into under high pressure?

It will stay as air. To liquefy it, it has to be pressurised, allowed to cool, then made very cold by de-pressurising it. So being cols will liquefy it. Pressure will not, at any achievable pressure.


What is the importance of critical pressure?

The critical pressure of a substance is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature. Some examples are shown below.


Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?

Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.


Where in the solar system is methane naturally a liquid?

Once you get out to the orbit of Jupiter, and anything farther from the sun than Jupiter, the temperatures are low enough to liquefy methane.


What is the importance of pressure?

It liquefy the gas at its critical temperature


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


Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?

The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.


What is the difference between LNG and LPG?

LNG is liquefied natural gas, while LPG is liquefied petroleum gas.LNG is mostly methane which is temporarily cooled in order to liquefy the gas. LNG must be refigerated to a cryogenic temperature of about -162C (-260F) in order to liquefy the gas and stays at or slightly above atmospheric pressure. LNG must be refrigerated because room temperature is above the critical point of methane, meaning no liquid can be condensed at this temperature (no matter what the pressure is).LPG is a mixture of propane and butane (in no specific proportion) which is stored in a pressurized container and is stored at room temperature. Butane and propane have a higher critical point, and therefore pressurization is sufficient to liquefy the fuel.


What kg one cubic meter methane gas?

The answer will depend on the pressure under which the gas is kept.


Why doesnt the rock in the center of the earth liquefy?

The inner core of the Earth, which is composed of metal rather than rock, does remains solid because it is under immense pressure.


Would methane ice float in liquid methane?

No. Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) corresponds to 273 K (0° Celsius) and 1 atm (1.0132501 bar). The critical point of methane is 190.6 K (−82.6 °C) and 46 bar so to get ANY liquid methane, you have to cool it below −82.6 °C and probably put it under pressure - the colder you get it, the less pressure required to liquefy it.
