If you are asking how much pressure you would have to compress methane to in order to liquify it at room temperature, the answer is that methane won't liquify at room temperature. The critical temperature for methane is -87.2 degrees centigrade. Above that temperature it will not liquify no matter how much pressure you apply. At -82.7 degrees centigrade it would take a pressure of 45.96 bar to get it to liquify. See: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/critical.html

The critical point of methane is -83 Celsius and 46 bars of pressure (i.e. 46 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere).

Since the Earth is much warmer than -83C, this means that there is no clear separation at Earth-like temperatures between methane gas and liquid. As pressure increases, methane becomes more fluid-like until it becomes a superfluid at about 46 bars of pressure.

What is hydrocarbon gas?

An example of a hydrocarbon is methane. Like all hydrocarbons, it is composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are used for fuel. When burned in combination with oxygen, hydrocarbons give off energy in the form of heat while combining with the oxygen to become carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).


What does a cooled gas become?

A bose-einstein condensate.


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.


Why rubidium is an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate?

Rubidium in itself is not an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate is the fifth state of matter. Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that only exists near absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin) temperatures. Currently Rubidium is one of the only materials that scientists have caused to become a Bose-Einstein condensate. So Rubidium isn't an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate, its just an element that has been able to change state and become a Bose-Einstein condensate. Another one is Neutron star wich is the dead remains of a star that has exploded as a supernova. It is like a giant, dense, heavy nucleus of mostly neurons.


Does a steam trap remove condensate?

water receives heat to become vapour thus carrying energy . water is mainly used because it is plentiful and has very high latent heat of vapourisation which absorbs a hell lot of heat during evaporation. here heat energy is converted into pressure energy during heating formation of steam and then expanded in turbines or let out to get kinetic energy as the output.

Why men floats in the surface of water after death?

Any bacteria living inside of the body, i.e. those in the gut are anaerobic. After death they quickly spread out of the gut and colonize the rest of the body. Without any air or oxygen, they take big hydrocarbons, and derive energy by making them into single carbon elements, methane, which the bacteria release. The methane gas released by the bacteria which will cause the body to swell up and become buoyant.


How do you stop your central AC from dripping water in the return air vent?

The condensate pan is probably unlevel and running over into your duct. Another possibility is that the drain pipe or hose has become clogged with dust or has been kinked, preventing condensate from draining properly.


What is the real definition of unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contain one or more double carbon bonds in the chemical structure. They can become saturated hydrocarbons in the event of chemical reactions which change the structure to have only single carbon bonds - for example this occurs to an extent when unsatured cooking oil becomes saturated during cooking and becomes more solid, saturated in content.

With no visible leaks external or internal what would cause the foor-board to become soaked in a 1996 Corvette?

How is crude made into products?

Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
