A liquid that has gas is called gaseous.
The word gaseous is part of the group of adjectives and is used to identify all substances that are in the form of a gas or the liquid that emanates, possesses or generates gases . When the term appears written in the feminine ( gaseosa ), it is used specifically to refer to a non-alcoholic effervescent drink that is usually enjoyed as a soft drink.
For example: "After the explosion, a gaseous halo enveloped the entire factory" , "Scientists are working on a gaseous compound capable of eliminating pests without affecting the plants" , "The authorities were surprised to discover a closed container with a content indefinite gas inside .
A fizzy drink
In this last sense, we have to highlight that this aforementioned carbonated soft drink is made up of a series of ingredients such as carbonated water , antioxidants, sweeteners, colorings, flavorings, preservatives, acidity stabilizers or thickeners.
Likewise, we cannot forget that these drinks are usually classified into three different groups. In this way, first of all, we have the so-called Zero , which are those that are identified by the fact that they do not have any sugar among their ingredients.
Secondly, we can also refresh ourselves by drinking Light soda, which is characterized by the fact that some of its ingredients are reduced by at least 25%. Thus, this decrease usually fundamentally affects what sugar is.
And finally, there are Diet drinks that are especially recommended for people who suffer from diabetes because they do not contain any substance that could harm their health.
Among the best-known and most consumed soft drink brands around the world are Coca Cola , Pepsi , Sprite , 7 Up or Kas .
Matter in the gaseous state lacks its own shape and volume.
Characteristics of a gas
When something is in a gaseous state , it is defined as a gas . Gas, the theory says, is a state of aggregation of matter that is characterized by leaving the substance without its own format or volume: instead, it adopts the appearance and volume of the container that contains it.
The main characteristic of matter in the gaseous state is that its molecules exert a very low power of attraction among themselves, moving at high speed and remaining far apart. This explains why the molecules are distributed throughout the entire space in which they are contained.
In addition to all the above, and based on these hallmarks, we must also highlight the fact that the gas molecules are identified because they are in what is known as a state of chaos, in disorder.
gas giant
A gas giant , on the other hand, is a planet of considerable size that is made up mostly of fluids, and not of rocks or other solid materials.
These planets, however, may have a metallic or rocky core, although much of their mass appears in a gas state or as compressed gas presented in a liquid version.
The term in medicine
To finish, we have to state that this concept is also used in the field of medicine.
Specifically, it is used to talk about the so-called gas embolism, which is the process by which gas enters the veins or arteries, causing the person who suffers it to have serious health problems that can lead to death.
