well for one thing, if you put the gas in a container and then you increase the temperature, then it will take up more space. Thereby increasing the pressure of the container. The reason why the pressure increases is because as the molecules become exited, they collide more often and increase their kinetic energy. You can use this principle under many applications, such as a an air pump, a motor, a generator, and so on. There is no real "Advantage" to storing grasses under pressure. NASA stores their hydrogen under cold temperature, so they can store more of it, because the volume decreases.

It is not economical or sensible to store them at atmospheric pressure. 1 kg of BBQ gas, for example, would have a volume of 817 L whereas we buy a 12 kg cylinder that has a volume of around 12 to 14 Litres/liters. It makes sense to pressurise the gases for transport and storage.

Why will two gases mix together naturally even though no heat is exchanged in the process?
gases need to be subjected to two things in order to combine, either high temperatures or high pressure. kind of like a rolling scale, with more heat you need less pressure but with more pressure you need less heat. so if two gases are in an environment with less heat and alot of pressure they will combine even though there is not the normal amount of heat required under average pressure
Is the boyles law is valid at high temperature?
Yes, if the pressure is low.
What force is created by high pressure under a wing and low pressure above a wing?
Lift
What are Examples of flammable gases?
Several gases are flammable like hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, silane, germane, etc.hydrogenFlammable gases are those that become explosive when they are mixed in the right proportions of air. These gases include ethylene, hydrogen, methane and butane.
What is an imaginary gas that conforms perfectly to the kinetic molecular theory callled?
That's called an "ideal gas". The behavior of real gases is quite similar to an ideal gas, except when the pressure is too high, or the temperature too low.That's called an "ideal gas".

What conditions are gases most soluble in water?
The solubilty of gases in water is increased at lower temperatures and higher pressures.
Which solution will have more gas dissovled in it a solution under high pressure or one under low pressure?
The solubility of gases in liquids increase when pressure increase.
How are gases liquefied?
When gases are operated under very high pressure and extremely low temperatures, they get liquefied.
Why dry ice is stored under high pressure?
solid carbon dioxide is stored undeer high pressure. this is because on decresing the preasure the temp will increase and solid carbon dioxide will be directly changed into CO2 in gaseous state.
How can gases be liquified?
compression under high pressure and at very low temprature converts the gas into liquid....
Why are plastic glass and tin cans not used as gas storage?
=substances like wood, glass and others doesn't have the durability to withhold compressed gas at high pressure. =Gases are generally stored under high pressure, to reduce the volume of space needed to store them. The container needs to be able to withstand the high pressure of the gas inside, which is why they have to be heavy duty metal cylinders.
Where gases are used?
Because a lot of gas can be stored at high pressure. When presurized gas is released, it can be made to do work. (e.g. a jackhammer, or pneumatic drill.)
When do real gases act least like ideal gases?
High temperature and low pressure

How does pressure affect the solubility of gases?
At high pressure the solubility increase.
Are veins under high pressure?
No, veins are not under high pressure. High-pressure vessels are the arteries.
Under which conditions of temperature and pressure does oxygen gas behave least like an ideal gas?
Gases show least ideal behaviour at 1- high pressure and 2- low temperature.
