In solid states, the particles are unable to move and there is no free space between them. This gives them a fixed shape and volume. As they cannot move, they cannot be compressed.

What is compressibility briefly?

Compressibility is the physical process of the volume change under the action of an external pressure.


How particle size affect solubility?

Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.

Suppose the temperature of the air in a balloon is increased if the pressure remains constant.. what quantity must change Would it be Volume or Number of molecules or Compressibility OR Adhesion?

Volume


Ability to force a gas into smaller space is called what?

It is called compressibility. The compressibility of gases can be explained by the kinetic particle theory: due to the large amount of space between the gas particles and the weak attraction forces between them, gases can easily be compressed (the particles are brought closer to each other, thus reducing the volume of the gas).


A measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure is called what?

Compressibility


What is difference between compressibility factor and super compressibility factor?

An ideal gas will have a volume that is inversely proportional to the pressure (assuming constant temperature). For example, if you double the pressure, the volume will be reduced to 1/2 the original volume. For real gases, the behavior is usually somewhat different. In some cases, if you double the pressure, the volume will reduce to LESS than 1/2 the original volume. This is due to the attraction between the molecules, and this phenomenon is called "supercompressibility".


Why should gas accumulator's volume increase when the gas having greater compressibility is uesed?

Gas accumulator volume go up due to cost. This is having greater comprehensibility.
