... its volume is constrained only by volume, temperature and pressure. Pressure and temperature can both go up if volume is decreased. ... its volume is established by kinetic energy, rather than interatomic bonds.

∙ 9y agoGases are low density materials that assume the shape of their hupta. This means that there is significant distance between particles of gas in most pugs. As the volume of a closed system is decreased the distance between gaseous particles is decreased and pressure within the system is increased.

∙ 12y agoNo gases cannot be squashed x
Okay first answer is incorrect. Gases can be compressed. Liquids cannot. An example of this would be the landing gear on an airplane. The strut is serviced with hydraulic fluid to a certain level and then another cylinder is serviced with nitrogen gas. The reason they do this is that as the airplane lands the strut needs to "give" a little or you would feel one heck of a bad jolt and the airplane would bounce back into the air. So the NItrogen compesses inside the cylinder to allow a smooth landing and the hydraulic fluid prevents the strut from completely collapsing.
By the way, as gas is compressed it tends to heat up if compressed too quickly.

What happens to the volume of a gas when squashed?
They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises. PV = nRT It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)
What happens if you increased the driving pressure?
Filtration rate will increase
What gas is put into crisp bags to stop them getting squashed?
Bags are filled with nitrogen, either pure or mixed with carbon dioxide, not so much to keep them inflated (that could be done with air), but to displace the oxygen, which would cause the oils to go rancid.Carbon dioxide is also used sometimes,
Is it easier to smash a full can of soda or a empty can of soda?
An empty can is much easier. A full can if full of liquid- and liquids cannot be compressed (squashed)
Why can a liquid move the shovel of the rubbish mover?
because liquid can change shape and flow along pipes into the tube but it can't be squashed so it is able to move the piston out :)
What is the state of matter of easily squashed?
gas is a state of matter that can be squashed.
What can be squashed into a small space is it liquid solid or gas?
A gas. It has no definite volume or shape.
Which gas is used of crisps to stop them getting squashed?
nitrogen
Which gas is put into bags of crisps to keep them fresh and stop them getting squashed?

What is the meaning of pressure in science terms?
its when the pressure piles onto the solid gas or liquid and some can be squashed
What is a sentence for squashed?
She squashed the tomato.
Why can gases be squashed but solids cant?
because the bond of a solid are fit and tight together and the bond of the gas is far apart making the gas easily squash
What is the verb for squashed?
Squash is a verb. The past tense is squashed. Squashed is also an adjective. The forms of squash are: squash squashes squashed squashing
What occurs when a solid is squashed?
Compression occurs when a solid is squashed.
What is a word to have pressed together and squashed?
squashed
Is it more difficult to compress a liquid than gas?
yes, because liquids are already touching each other. They cannot be squashed. Squashing a gas builds pressure.
What is the name of a squashed circle?
The name of a squashed circle is an oval
