The density of a substance equals its mass divided by volume. If the volume decreases (such as by compressing a gas), its density will increase.

Gas can be compressed so much that it turns into a liquid form.

Compressed elemental gas (as in Hydrogen, Oxygen, etc) will however not remain in this state when pressure is released. It will simly turn back into gas again.

Some gasses that are a mix of various components may even change structure due to high pressure and temperature. Some gasses can be turned into plastic. Commonly done with natural gas from "oil" wells.

What is the density of compressed natural gas?

The density of compressed natural gas (CNG) is typically around 0.03 to 0.04 grams per cubic centimeter.


If chlorine gas is compressed does its density increase?

Yes It does increase. http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ While this website doesn't include chlorine, any gas that is compressed will increase in density. Different gasses all have different compression-density relationships, but all gasses that are compressed will increase in density.


Why does density increase when a gas is compressed?

There will be the same amount of gas but in a smaller space. Density is mass/volume So as volume decreases and mass is constant, the density increases.


What happens the density of a gas as it is compressed?

The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.


How many cubic meter of gas when compressed makes one kilo gram by weight?

Depends on the density of the gas.


Does compressed helium lift more?

Compressed helium does not lift more than regular helium. The lifting force generated by a gas is determined by its density, regardless of whether it is compressed or not. Helium is already a very low-density gas, so compressing it would not significantly increase its lifting capacity.


Why does the volume of a gas decrease when pressure increases?

As pressure increases, the molecules of the gas are compressed, reducing the amount of space between molecules, which results in a decreased volume.


If the temperature of a gas in a movable piston is decreased what will happen to the density of the gas?

It will increase. Density is mass/volume. Mass remains constant since no matter is entering or escaping. Lowering the temperature decreases the volume. Same mass in a smaller space= increased density.


Does compressed oxygen have a weight?

actually compressed oxygen does actually have weight.


What does compressed ammonia mean?

Compressed ammonia refers to ammonia gas that has been pressurized and stored in a compressed state. This allows for a higher density of ammonia to be stored in a smaller space, making it easier to transport and handle.


How is pressure affected when a gas is compressed?

When a gas is compressed, its volume decreases while the number of gas molecules remains the same. This leads to the gas particles being more concentrated in a smaller space, resulting in an increase in pressure according to the ideal gas law, which states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume.


What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure?

As atmospheric pressure increases in a specific area, the gas particles in that area become more compressed and closer together. This compression leads to an increase in gas particle density in proportion to the increase in pressure. Conversely, as pressure decreases, the gas particles become less compressed and spread out, resulting in a lower gas particle density.
