Can gas be squashed

Answer 1

... 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.

Answer 2

Gases 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.

Answer 3

Well, darling, technically gas can't be "squashed" in the traditional sense because it already fills the space it's in. However, if you increase the pressure or decrease the temperature, you can make gas more dense, which might give you the illusion of squashing it. Just remember, you can't squash the sass out of me, honey!

Answer 4

Yes, gas can be compressed or squashed. When gas is put under pressure, its volume decreases and particles move closer together, resulting in a higher pressure. This is how gases are stored in compressed gas containers.

Answer 5

No 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.

Answer 6

When you say 'squashed' you mean that you are comprerssing the gas.

Car and bicycle tyres air (gas) being squashed, compressed into a given space.

Answer 7

Because the molecules are so loose and they aren't rigid

Answer 8

Answer 9

yes it can

Answer 10

no
