Gas
A gas, also called the gaseous state, is one of the three common states of matter, filling whatever container holds it because its molecules move freely and far apart.
Gas chromatography
Gas chromatography (GC), also known as gas-liquid chromatography, is an analytical chemistry technique that separates compounds in a vaporized sample as an inert gas carries them through a column.
Gas chromatography–olfactometry
Gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O) is an analytical technique, first reported in 1964, in which a trained human sniffs gas chromatograph effluent to identify odor-active compounds in food, fragrance, and environmental samples.
Gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) is an analytical technique that separates a volatile mixture by gas chromatography, then fragments ions in a tandem mass spectrometer to quantify trace compounds like pesticides and dioxins.
Gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC–TOF-MS) is an analytical technique that separates volatile compounds on a gas chromatograph and records a complete mass spectrum for each with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
Gas constant
The gas constant, also called the universal or molar gas constant, is the constant R in the ideal gas law PV = nRT, exactly 8.314 J/(mol·K) since 2019.
Gas detector
A gas detector, also called a gas sensor, measures gas concentrations in air to warn of toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and flammable atmospheres in workplaces and mines.
Gas duster
A gas duster, also called canned air or compressed air, is a pressurized canister of liquefied gas propellant that blows dust off keyboards, computers, and printers.
Gas electron multiplier
The gas electron multiplier (GEM) is a particle detector component invented at CERN in 1997: a copper-clad polymer foil with microscopic holes where electrons multiply in a gas avalanche.
Gas giant
A gas giant, or gas planet, is a large planet composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with no true surface; Jupiter and Saturn are examples.
Gas laws
The gas laws are empirical relationships describing how the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of a gas depend on one another, combining into the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.
Gas to liquids
Gas to liquids (GTL) is an industrial chemical process that converts natural gas into liquid fuels such as diesel and naphtha, usually by Fischer–Tropsch synthesis; the largest plant is Pearl GTL in Qatar.
Gas washing
Gas washing is a laboratory technique in which a gas stream bubbles through a liquid to clean, dry, or humidify it, typically using a Drechsel gas washing bottle.
Gas-diffusion-electrode CO2 electrolyzer
A gas-diffusion-electrode CO2 electrolyzer is an electrochemical flow cell that feeds gaseous CO2 directly to a catalyst layer on a porous electrode, raising current densities from tens of milliamperes to amperes per square centimeter.
Gas-discharge lamp
A gas-discharge lamp, also called an electric discharge lamp, is an electric light source that passes current through a gas or vapor, spanning fluorescent tubes and high-intensity discharge types.
