Sure it can! For example, sulfur dioxide (a gas) can easily react with water to form sulfuric acid. Reactions like these are, however, not very much appreciated, as they usually don't produce large quantities of new chemicals. This is because, due to their very low density, gases don't carry large quantities of the chemical they're made of in a small volume, so the amount of said chemical that can react with the exposed surface of a liquid is usually very limited.

The process from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation, where the liquid absorbs heat energy and changes into a gas. On the other hand, the process from a gas to a liquid is called condensation, where the gas loses heat energy and changes into a liquid. Both processes involve a change in temperature or pressure.
The state of matter changes from liquid to gas when water is boiled in a pan on a stove.
Evaporation is a process in which a liquid turns into a gas. It is one of the methods by which a substance can change from a liquid to a gas state.
Moisture can be both a liquid and a gas. A gas, such as steam, is wet if you touch it. Moisture is more commonly though of as a liquid, however. Water is a liquid, and a moisture, Steam is a gas, and a moisture.
A change of phase, from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, or gas to liquid, etc., is also sometimes called a change of state.
