← ScienceWhich 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.
