A gas enters a compressor where it is converted to a liquid. Which of the following happens to the gas as it becomes a liquid?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a gas is compressed and converted into a liquid, it releases heat due to the exothermic process of condensation. The molecules lose kinetic energy, which is released as heat. The mass and number of protons of the substance remain unchanged, and electricity is not directly released in this process.
