How does applying pressure help in the liquefaction of a gas?

Solution

The physical state of matter can be changed by increasing or decreasing the pressure. When a high pressure is applied to a gas, it gets compressed and when we lower its temperature,it gets liquified. Gases can be liquified by compression and cooling.

Q. How does applying pressure (or compression) help in the liquefaction of a gas ?

Two different gases 'A' and 'B' are filled in separate containers of equal capacity under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. On increasing the pressure slightly the gas 'A' liquefies but gas B does not liquify even on applying high pressure until it is cooled. Explain this phenomenon.
