(N/A) The primary property of hydrogen useful for the hydrogen economy is its ability to be liquefied under high pressure and low temperature. Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature,which makes it difficult to transport in bulk due to its low density. By cooling it and applying high pressure,gaseous $H_2$ can be converted into liquid $H_2$,which occupies a much smaller volume and can be transported easily. The process is a physical change: $H_{2(g)} \xrightarrow[\text{high pressure}]{\text{cooling}} H_{2(l)}$.
