Study Notes
Liquefaction of Gases
- There are two ways to liquefy gases: by increasing the pressure or by decreasing the temperature.
- The cooling process slows down the velocity of gas molecules, allowing them to come together and form a liquid.
Properties of Liquids
- Liquids occupy a definite volume because their molecules are closely packed and have a fixed amount of space between them.
Critical Temperature
- The critical temperature of a substance is the temperature above which it cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied.
Effect of Pressure on Gases
- Applying pressure to a gas increases the collisions between molecules, allowing them to stick together and form a liquid.
- Pressure is an important factor in liquefaction, as it helps to overcome the kinetic energy of the gas molecules and bring them together.
