1. Reducing temperature: By cooling the gas, we induce a transformation of gas molecules into a liquid state. As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of these molecules diminishes, leading to their transition from a gaseous to a liquid state.
2. Imposing elevated pressure: Subjecting gas molecules to high-pressure results in their compression. This compression causes the intermolecular gap between gas molecules to decrease significantly. As the intermolecular distance shrinks, the gas molecules draw close to one another, resulting in their condensation into liquid form.
In the gaseous phase, molecules are widely spaced. However, by employing high pressure and lowering temperature, the gas can be transformed into a liquid state.
Hence, the optimal conditions for gas liquefaction involve both high pressure and low temperature.
