← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when compression overcomes intermolecular forces in a gas?
A)Phase transition to liquid occurs✓
B)Temperature remains constant throughout
C)Gas becomes supercritically more viscous
D)Volume increases linearly with pressure
💡 Explanation
A phase transition occurs because overcoming intermolecular forces via compression enables closer molecular packing, driving the gas to condense into a liquid by Van der Waals interactions. Compression results in liquefaction, rather than constant temperature/volume behavior, or forming a supercritical or a direct increase in gas volume.
