Because you are cooling the gas, you are reducing the heat energy. Without this energy, the molecules cannot move as much and so weak intermolecular forces kick in and they go closer together, changing a gas to a liquid.

Prior to it becoming a liquid, however, the pressure in the container, assuming the container is of constant volume, decreases.

What happens when you cool a gas?

It becomes liquid.This was discovered by an Indian scientist Dr.Navjosh in 1532 A.D. The speed of motion of the gas molecules (or atoms) is decreased. If the gas is enclosed in a fixed volume, the pressure will decrease. If the gas is at a fixed pressure, the volume will decrease. If cooled sufficiently, the gas may condense into a liquid or directly into a solid, depending on the gas pressure and type of gas.


What happens when boiling water is thrown into cold air?

When boiling water is thrown into cold air, it quickly evaporates and turns into water vapor. This happens because the cold air causes the hot water to cool rapidly, leading to a phase change from liquid to gas.


What happens when you throw hot water into cold air?

When hot water is thrown into cold air, the water quickly evaporates and turns into steam. This happens because the cold air causes the hot water to rapidly cool down, leading to a phase change from liquid to gas.


If a balloon is squeezed what happens to the gas inside?

When a balloon is squeezed, the volume of the balloon decreases. This causes the gas inside the balloon to be compressed, increasing the pressure of the gas.


What name is used for the main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated?

The main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated is convection. In convection, the heated gas molecules become less dense and rise, while cooler gas molecules sink, creating a circular motion that transfers heat throughout the gas.

What happens when gas cool down?

When cooled enough it will condense into a liquid. The required temperature changes with the substance.

Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?

Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.


How does vapor change to liquid?

It condenses, this is what happens when the particles in a gas cool down. If you breath onto a piece of glass you can see a small amount of condensation
