Questions & Answers about La temperatura aumenta, dunque il liquido diventa un gas.

Does dunque mean exactly the same thing as quindi or perciò here?
Yes, they all mean therefore, so, or as a result, and you can easily swap dunque for quindi or perciò in this sentence. dunque often sounds just a tiny bit more formal or conclusive, making it a great fit for stating a logical, scientific fact like this one.
Is aumentare the normal word for to increase, or is it formal like the English word augment?
It is the completely standard, everyday word for to increase or to rise in Italian. You will use aumentare for the temperature going up, prices rising, or numbers growing.
Why is the article un used for gas instead of uno?
You only use the article uno before masculine words starting with a z, a gn, a ps, or an s followed by another consonant (like uno specchio). Since gas starts with a single g followed by a vowel, it just takes the standard masculine article un.
Is diventa an irregular verb?
No, diventare (to become) acts like a completely normal, regular verb in the present tense. diventa is just the standard he/she/it form. Just remember that when you use it in the past tense (the passato prossimo), it requires essere as its helper verb, such as è diventato (it became).
