What are the properties of a liquid?
can be pouredflowstakes the shape of its containerfixed volumescan't be squashedThe properties of a liquid: has a fixed volume, but will assume the shape of the container it fills.density, viscosity, compressibility, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, boiling point, freezing point, dielectric properties, surface tension, vapour pressure, etc.
How will you show that air has maximum compressibility?
by showing at what point it stops behaving like air (the pressure at which it condenses to a liquid).You can show that air has maximum compressibility using 3 syringes with one sealed with water, the other with air, and the other with chalk whereby the one with air will allow compression to the highest degree compared to the rest.
What accounts for the compressibility of gases as compared to liquids and solids?
The biggest difference would be the volume you can compress. Because a liquid has far less "open space" between the molecules it will not compress as much as a gas would. There are also difference in temperature change when compressed to the same volume. And there will be differences of pressure when the same molecules are compressed from their base state.
What state of matter is modeled by a box of marbles sliding around each other?
A liquid
Is conditioner a solid or liquid?
liquid
Does increases in pressure increase the compressibility of liquids?
No,an increase in pressure in liquid does not increase it compressibility but it does in gas:-P
What Has definite volume but an indefinite shape?
liquid has an indefinite shape and a definite volume,low compressibility and expands slightly
Application of compressibility requiring liquid and gases?
Vehicle breaks hydraulic mechanism , refrigeration
What does a liquid substance have?
A liquid has a density, refractive index, freezing point, boiling point, thermal stability, compressibility, viscosity etc.
Is it possible to compress liquid?
The compressibility of liquids is low enough that considering them to be incompressible is usually a safe assumption.
What is the compressibility of diesel?
compressibility of petrol
What is compressibility of liquids?
That means how easy it is to compress the liquid - to reduce its volume by applying pressure. Liquids are normally not very compressible.
Do gases and liquids share the compressibility property?
Yes, both gases and liquids share the property of compressibility to some extent. Gases are highly compressible due to the large intermolecular spaces, while liquids are less compressible because their particles are already closer together, but they can still be compressed slightly under high pressure.
What is the compressibility factor of jet fuel?
The compressibility of Jetfuel is 0.88x10-9 m2/N
What is compressibility briefly?
Compressibility is the physical process of the volume change under the action of an external pressure.
What is the compressibility of plasma?
Yes
Does a gas have very low compressibility?
No. Gasses are normally highly compressible. Liquids such as water and melted metals, have low compressibility.
