What happens to a liquid when you compress it?

When a liquid is compressed, its molecules are forced closer together, which increases the pressure and, in some cases, can cause the liquid to change phase and become a solid. The volume of the liquid decreases as a result of compression.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when changed?

The volume either increases or decreases


What is a compression ratio?

Compression Ratio is the ratio between the original volume and the compressed volume in combustion chamber. The compression ratio is denoted as CR. It is the measure of how much air-fuel mixture is compressed during the compression stroke in the case of the gasoline engine (in the case of the diesel engine only air is compressed. Compression ratio is found by dividing the volume of stroke of the cylinder (swept volume) and clearance volume when the piston is at BDC by the volume when the piston is at TDC (ie clearance volume). Compression ratio= (Swept volume + Clearance volume) / Clearance volume. For example engine has a Swept volume of 700 cc. It has clearance volume 50 cc. Compression ratio= (700 + 80) / 80 =9.75: 1 It means Air fuel mixture is compressed to 1/9.75 of its original volume during compression stroke.

How does volume change during evaporation?

During evaporation, molecules escape the liquid surface into the air as gas. This conversion from liquid to gas reduces the volume of the liquid as it evaporates. However, the total volume of the system remains constant since the gas molecules occupy the space above the liquid.


How does the pressure of an ideal gas change during an isobaric compression process?

During an isobaric compression process, the pressure of an ideal gas increases as the volume decreases while the temperature remains constant.


What happens when a liquid becomes a gas (apex)?

When a liquid becomes a gas, it undergoes a phase change called vaporization. During vaporization, the particles in the liquid gain enough energy to break free from the forces holding them together in the liquid state. This process can occur through either evaporation (at the surface) or boiling (throughout the liquid).


What is the change of a liquid to a gas?

Evaporation.Would you believe condensation.Would you believe vaporization!(Evaporation is a type of vaporization that only happens at the surface of a liquid, boiling happens throughout the liquid volume)


What happens to the number of molecules of the gas when it is compressed?

When a gas is compressed, the volume it occupies decreases, causing the gas molecules to be closer together. The number of molecules remains the same, as no molecules are added or removed during compression.


What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it changes from a liquid to a vapor?

The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
