Excellent question! It is what is introduced to a refined gas not removed to make gas liquefy. What you use is pressure well beyond ambient air pressure. Gas is compressed by air pressure - psi or pounds per square inch. The pressure at which gas goes liquid is called vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is dependent on factors such as temperature, gas type, and gas mixture types. Grab a propane bottle and note the psi level. Depending on the size of the storage tank for propane (possibly mixed with butane) psi can range as low at 8 pounds per square inch to 120 psi. Pressure fluctuates constantly based on the temperature changes affecting the storage tank and the size of the 'upper vapor space' or the area of the tank that has no liquefied gas.

What is it called when particles move randomly and are well spaced out?

Particles are close but disorganized will change from gaseous state to liquid form. Once in liquid form the particles will spread out.


Does water must be heated in order to move from a gasesous to a liquid state?

No, water can condense into a liquid state without needing to be heated. This process is called condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and transforms back into liquid water droplets. Heating water is needed to catalyze the opposite process, turning liquid water into water vapor through evaporation.


Is there a chemical difference between the gauseos and liquid state of the same substance?

There is no chemical difference, the only difference is the speed in which the molecules of the substances move. Slower molecules can be solid or liquid and very high speed molecules can be gas.


What happens to most matter when heated?

When matter is heated the particles in the matter gain energy and begin to move or vibrate more depending on the state in which the matter is currently in. If the heat provided is significant enough they can change state too. Hope that was what you were looking for!


What happens to the speed at which particles move which particles move when they are heated?

When particles are heated, they gain energy, which leads to an increase in their kinetic energy. As a result, the speed at which the particles move increases. This heightened movement can cause substances to expand and can affect their state, such as transitioning from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas. The overall effect is a more rapid and energetic motion of the particles.

Does Water have to be heated in order to move from a gaseous to a liquid state.?

No; water (as gas) must be cooled to become a liquid - this change is called condensation..


Does molten state mean gaseous state?

No, molten state refers to a substance that has been heated to the point of becoming liquid, while the gaseous state refers to a substance in which its particles are free to move without a definite shape or volume. In the molten state, the substance retains its liquid form, whereas in the gaseous state, the substance exists as a gas.


What causes steam to form when water is heated?

When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and move faster, causing them to break free from the liquid state and turn into steam, which is the gaseous form of water.


Gaseous Liquid in television tubes?

There is no such thing as a "gaseous liquid". There is a state of matter called a GAS and a state of matter called a LIQUID and matter can move between these states. Further, Television tubes contain a vacuum.


Describe the state of matter of mercury and the motion of its particles as it is heated from -45 degree Celsius to 356 degree Celsius?

Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and becomes a gas when heated to 356 degrees Celsius. As it is heated, the particles in the liquid mercury gain energy and move more rapidly, eventually breaking free from the liquid phase and becoming a gas. At the higher temperature, the particles move faster and farther apart, transitioning from the liquid to the gaseous state.


In what state the atoms move the fastest?

Particles in the gaseous state move at a very high rate and have a large effect on each other. Particles on a liquid state move slower but still have a measurable effect on each other. Particles in a solid state move very slowly and have little effect on each other.


How are water molecules packed when they are in a gaseous state?

In a gaseous state, water molecules are spaced far apart and move around freely. They have high kinetic energy and weak intermolecular forces, leading to their random distribution and lack of definite shape or volume.


What happens to materials when they are heated?

Most materials expand when they are heated. If they are heated enough, they may change from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gaseous forms.

How can a liquid be heated?

When a liquid is heated the particles increase speed and then move farther apart. Also the liquid and bubble up.


When a liquid is heated the particles get enough energy to move is called?

When a liquid is heated, the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in place and move more freely. This increased movement leads to a change in the state of the liquid, either forming a gas if the temperature is high enough or maintaining a liquid state with increased kinetic energy.


What outcome results when a liquid is heated?

When a liquid is heated, its temperature increases and eventually reaches its boiling point where it turns into a gas. The heat energy causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster and further apart, leading to the change in state from liquid to gas.
