sprdave Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I have this sample exam question that has me confused/curious I was wondering about. "If a gas in a closed space is compressed, it willa. decrease in temperatureb. increase in temperaturec. solidifyd. move more slowly" b & c both seem technically correct to me but there is only supposed to be one answer (which the answer sheet says :rant:, Wouldn't it eventually solidify as well?I know it would liquidfy but Im not 100% on solidify but my physics tells me it would. Any links to information on this would be appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 It will initially increase in temperature and that is the best answer of those given. If it were compressed enough it would eventually turn to liquid and if that liquid were compressed enough it would eventaully solidify. Compressing the gas would not yield a solid directly though so it would not be a technically correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
