When any gas (or gas mixture), including air, is cooled, the molecules will move slower and they will be able to be closer together. The volume needed to store a certain amount of gas will be less. If you cool it enough, it will eventually turn into a liquid.

What happens to a gas as it is cooled below 0 degrees?

this is known as liquifaction if the gas is cooled to liquid.


Does gas expand when cooled?

No, gas contracts or decreases in volume when cooled because the molecules lose kinetic energy and move closer together. This decrease in volume causes the gas to contract and take up less space.


What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?

If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.


What happens to gases as they are heated or cooled?

they tend to vibrate


What happens to viscosity in a gas when cooled?

The viscosity increase when the temperature decrease.


What happens to air when it's cooled?

The molecules in it slow down and the total volume decreases.


What is the volume of the gas before and after cooled?

The volume of a gas - at constant pressure - is proportional to the absolute temperature, that is, to the temperature expressed in Kelvin. This relationship is only approximate for real gases, but it is close enough for most practical purposes.


What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?

Volume decrease.


What happens to a volume of a gas when the pressure doubles?

the volume doubles


What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure double?

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.


What happens when a hot solid is cooled?

The temperature decrease and also the volume.
