Best Answer

The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.

1). It occupies less Volume.

2). Either its Temperature or its Pressure increase, because [ PV/T ] remains constant.

If chlorine gas is compressed does its density increase?

Yes It does increase. http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ While this website doesn't include chlorine, any gas that is compressed will increase in density. Different gasses all have different compression-density relationships, but all gasses that are compressed will increase in density.


What happens to the number of molecules of the gas when it is compressed?

It does not change, unless a chemical reaction in the gas happens.


Why does density increase when a gas is compressed?

There will be the same amount of gas but in a smaller space. Density is mass/volume So as volume decreases and mass is constant, the density increases.

Depends on the density of the gas.


What is the density of gas?

Asking "what is the density of a gas" is just like asking "what is the density of a liquid or solid". This entirely depends on what gas it is and only in the case of gases, what temperature and pressure it is at too.

What happens when a gas is expanded?

A consequence is the decrease of density.


What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?

The temperature and speed remain constant.


What happens to the density of water if it is compressed?

You can't compress water when it is a liquid. That's why hydraulic systems work the way they do.
