What happens when a gas in space can’t cling to a particle, or, if 100% of the gas can’t be turned into a crystal (Classic Dope), what happens to the leftovers?
I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you release a gas in space, it just keeps expanding until its pressure approximately equals that of the space around it. Also, what the bleeding hell does
mean?
You got a link for whatever it is that you’re talking about?
Gas in space IS particles, and will disperse. The kinetic energy of the particles will remain essentially unchanged until they find something to interact with, so the gas as a whole maintains its temperature. And comments on Cecil’s columns belong in the forum called “Comments on Cecil’s Columns.”
No place to go? It has the entire universe at it’s disposal!
What gas?
How much?
What particle?
What crystal?
Where is link (Clasic Dope)?
Isn’t space called space 'cause it’s empty?
“Empty” is pretty relative. There’s more pseudo-empty space than there are large, consolidated chunks of matter, but even the “empty” areas have small amounts of matter (mostly hydrogen) floating around. In fact, the average density of interstellar space is 1 atom/cm[sup]2[/sup].
Make that 1 atom/cm[sup]3[/sup]. This ain’t Flatland. :smack:
As crystallizing is equivalent to freezing, he’s probably referring to this classic column of Cecil’s:
Would a glass of water in space freeze or boil?
This question, therefore, probably belongs in Comments on Cecil’s Columns.
From your lips to the mods ears.
As any fool knows, the gas from leftovers produces what is known technically as a “fart.”
