A gas that is entirely gaseous at -50°C is classified as which term?

Explanation:
Gases are categorized by how they’re packaged for transport. When a gas is kept under pressure so it remains in a gaseous form, it’s called a compressed gas. The fact that it stays entirely gaseous even at -50°C shows it won’t be shipped as a liquid or dissolved in a solvent, and it isn’t a refrigerated liquid. So the description that best fits its shipping form is compressed gas.
