Which outcome primarily occurs when gaseous hydrogen is compressed adiabatically?

A)Temperature increase due to molecular collisions
B)Volume expansion from hydrogen dissociation
C)Pressure decrease via enhanced van der Waals
D)Isothermal gas liquefaction consequently stabilizes

💡 Explanation

The temperature increases because, during adiabatic compression, kinetic energy transfers into increased molecular motion, a process understood as adiabatic heating, therefore the gas heats up, rather than condensing, as that involves more direct heat removal.
