👉 In physics and chemistry, "precondensing" is a process where an ideal gas (such as nitrogen or hydrogen) is compressed to achieve a lower temperature than its standard state. The goal of precondensing is to increase the pressure exerted on the gas, which can be achieved by increasing the volume or decreasing the temperature. The term "precondense" comes from the Greek word "prēnōs," meaning "to condense." It refers to the process where an ideal
