Question

Please make a list what the consequences could be if bad quality of the compressed air used!

Answer 1

When you compress it, the molecules are forced to come closer to each other that makes to decrease the volume air occupies. Another change we might see is the kinetic energy of molecules being increased by increase in the velocity of molecules present there. In macroscopic level we say as temperature being increased.

If the compression is isothermal(constant temperature), only volume decreases as a result pressure increases. Else temperature increases too in addition.

In lay man terms it occupies less space and gets hot.
