They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises.

PV = nRT

It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)

Can gas be squashed?

... its volume is constrained only by volume, temperature and pressure. Pressure and temperature can both go up if volume is decreased. ... its volume is established by kinetic energy, rather than interatomic bonds.


What happens to the volume of gas when pressure doubles?

If the temperature remains constant, the volume of the gas will halve when the pressure doubles. This is described by Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.


What happens to the pressure of gas when the volume is doubled and no change in Kelvin temperature?

According to Boyle's Law, when the volume of a gas is doubled with no change in Kelvin temperature, the pressure of the gas will be halved. This is because pressure and volume are inversely proportional in a gas at constant temperature.


What gas do they put in a bag of crisps to stop it from getting squashed?

Nitrogen gas is used to fill bags of crisps to prevent them from getting squashed. Nitrogen is an inert gas that helps maintain the freshness and crunchiness of the crisps by minimizing the effects of oxidation and moisture.


If the number of moles of gas decrease what happens to the volume?

If the number of moles of gas decreases, the volume of the gas will decrease as well, assuming constant temperature and pressure. This is described by Boyle's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the number of moles of gas when pressure and temperature are held constant.
