Depends on what the gas is. Compressed air is used by Scuba divers to breathe, auto mechanics to drive lots of theirtools, carpenters for air powered nailers. Compressed oxygen is usedto help people with breathing problems in or out of the hospital,withacetylene in oxy-acetylene torches to cut thru metals.

Maybe you mean CNG, compressed natural gas, which is mostly methane, and is used as a fuel.

Are gases the only form of matter that is compressible?

No. All forms of matter are compressible if you use sufficient pressure. Gases are the most easily compressible, but liquids are also compressible if you use high enough pressures. So are solids, believe it or not.


Why gases are compressible?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


Do gases and liquids share the compressibility property?

Gases and liquid do not share the same compressibility property. In liquids, the molecules are approximately lesser compressed, that Is why they move around freely and does not have fixed shape. While gas is the most compressible and it doesn't have a shape.


Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?

Yes, fluids can exist as both gases and liquids. In general, gases have low density, are compressible, and fill the entire volume of their container, while liquids have higher density, are not easily compressible, and have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.


Is carbon monoxide compressible?

Yes, carbon monoxide is compressible. Like all gases, it can be easily compressed into a smaller volume by increasing pressure. This is due to the fact that gases have more empty space between their particles compared to solids and liquids.


How are gases and liquids alike?

Gases and liquids are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They can exert pressure on the walls of their container and have molecules that move freely past each other. However, liquids have higher density and are less compressible compared to gases.


Why solids is not compressible why?

solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible


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.


What phase of matter shows large compressibility?

Of the three phases of matter, gases are the most compressible, in general, followed by liquids.


What are the differences between liquids and gases?

Liquids have a definite volume and take the shape of their container, while gases have neither a definite volume nor shape, filling the entire space available to them. Gases are compressible, while liquids are not. Additionally, gases exhibit lower intermolecular forces compared to liquids.


Are solids incompressible materials?

Solids are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases. This means that solids can be compressed slightly under high pressure, but their volume does not change significantly compared to liquids and gases.


Which of the following substances is most compressible?

Gas is the most compressible because the atoms have the most space in between. Solids are the least compressible because their atoms are tightly packed. Degree of compressibility will depend entirely on the substance in question.
