An ideal gas is, precisely, an idealization - a ficticious substance that will NOT liquify, but remain a gas, and have a volume that is exactly proportional to the temperature (at a given pressure). Real gases are an approximation to an ideal gas, under a wide variety of conditions, but at low temperatures, or high pressures, there are discrepancies.

Is ink a liquid?

Yes, it flows which means it is not a solid and it cannot be compressed which means it is not a gas.


Why can you compress a gas but not liquid or a solid?

The question is based on the misconception that liquids and solids cannot be compressed: they can. The molecules of gas are further apart allowing them to be compressed more easily.


Which can be compressed more easily gas or liquid?

gas can be compressed easier.


Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?

A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.


What are the differences between a gas and a liquid?

Where do you use the fact that gases can be compressed and liquids cannot?

a liquid can be compressed


Liquid and gas are both fluids how are they different?

gas can be compressed


Do liquid compressed?

No, liquid cannot be compressed because you use syringe put water and you use your hand block the hole you push you cannot push.


Is compressed natural gas a liquid?

no it's a gas, compressed to around 1% of normal volume. If it was compressed to the liquid state, you'd call it liquified natural gas (LNG).


Are there any gases that can turn into a liquid?

Many gasses will turn to liquid when compressed, as in Propane, when compressed becomes liquid propane gas LPG
