Question

What term describes gas that is compressed into a smaller space than it would normally occupy at Earth's surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressurized gas

Explanation:

When we compress the gas, the volume occupied by a gas decreases, since the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure, the compression of the gas causes an increase in Pressure. The molecules not only collide with each other but also on the walls of the container.

Compressed gases can cause fires, explosions, low-oxygen atmospheres, exposure to toxic gases and the physical danger associated with high-pressure cylinders. Special procedures for storage, use, handling and disposal are required to ensure the safety of the researchers who use these chemicals and equipment. There are also risks associated with the gas pressure and the physical weight of the cylinder. A falling gas bottle can break containers and crush your feet. The cylinder can become a missile if the cylinder valve breaks.
