Why sponge is compressible?
Sponge is compressible because it is porous.
Are pebbles compressible?
because you are
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible
Why sponge is solid but still compressible?
Because a great part of a sponge is air.
Use what you know about the particles in a gas to explain why a gas has no definite shape and no definite volume?
By definition. There are 4 basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. That type which has no definite volume or shape is defined, in physical science, as a gas. Solids have a definite shape and are (practically) not compressible, so their volume is also well defined. Liquids are not compressible, but they can take any shape, liquid meaning fluid (able to flow.) Gasses are fluids which can easily be compressed, so they have no definite volume or shape. Their volume depends upon the pressure applied. Gasses are not particles. Balloons may take any shape and are always filled with some gas. Plasma is a special case of a gas, so hot and excited that its electrons cannot stay bound to its atomic nucleus. That state of matter which has no definite shape or volume is called a gas.
Water is a non compssible fluid?
Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.
Is carbon monoxide compressible?
All gasses are compressible
Is a gas easily compressed?
Yes gasses are compressible.
In order for a material to be compressible there must be space between the particles which states of matter will be in compressible?
Solid and liquid states are not compressible.Solids.Solids
What physical property is shared by oxygen helium and carbon dioxide?
Being gasses, each of these is compressible.
Why do gasses have neigthter a fixed volumn?
Because gases are compressible, meaning their volume depends on the pressure exerted on them.
What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?
Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.
Does a gas have very low compressibility?
No. Gasses are normally highly compressible. Liquids such as water and melted metals, have low compressibility.
What gas properties best explains the ability of air bags to cushion the force of impact during a car accident?
gasses are compressible
Why can gasses change volume (apex)?
That's because they are quite easily compressible. There are no forces holding the gas particles together. (apex)
Why a syringe filled with water can be pushed in?
All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid. The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.
Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?
Butane gas IS compressible.
