Oxygen gas in a syringe can be compressed to a smaller volume because gases are highly compressible compared to liquids and solids. When the volume of the syringe is reduced, the gas molecules are forced closer together, leading to an increase in pressure and a decrease in volume.
What else can I help you with?
Does compressed oxygen have a weight?
actually compressed oxygen does actually have weight.
What term best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure?
The term "compressed gas" best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure. This typically refers to gases that have been compressed into a smaller volume using pressure vessels.
What is the function of the syringe in respirometer?
The syringe in a respirometer is used to adjust the volume of gas in the respirometer chamber. By pushing or pulling the plunger of the syringe, you can change the pressure inside the chamber, allowing you to measure the rate of gas exchange, such as oxygen consumption or carbon dioxide production, by the organism being studied.
What is the formula to calculate the compressed gas cylinder volume?
The formula to calculate the volume of a compressed gas cylinder is V r2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is the height of the cylinder.
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).
Does compressed oxygen have a weight?
actually compressed oxygen does actually have weight.
Can the particles in gas be compressed into smaller volume?
Yes, particles in a gas can be compressed into a smaller volume by reducing the space between them. This will increase the pressure of the gas as the particles are forced closer together.
Do gases keep the same volume?
Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.
Which state of matter can change volume easily?
Matter changes both its shape and volume when it is in a gaseous state. Imagine oxygen: if you have a syringe full of oxygen, the oxygen is in the shape of the syringe, but if you let it out, it would readily lose this shape as it escaped into the environment. If you do not let it out, and instead push the syringe, you are compressing the oxygen; in other words, you are making the volume of the oxygen smaller by making it more dense. Oxygen, as with any other gas, does not have a fixed shape or volume.
A 100.0 mL sample of nitrogen at 810 torr was compressed to a volume of 72.0 mL in a syringe What was the pressure of trapped nitrogen in torr?
1100
What are some examples of gases that can be compressed?
Some examples of gases that can be compressed are oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium. When these gases are compressed, their volume decreases while the pressure increases.
Why would you not be able to continue decreasing the volume of a syringe until the volume was zero?
If the volume is zero, then there is no volume left in the syringe to measure.
Why can gases be compressesd?
Gases can be compressed because their particles can be squeezed closer together into a smaller volume.
Can gas particules cannot be compressed into smaller spaces?
Gas particles can be compressed into smaller spaces because they have a lot of empty space between them. When gas particles are compressed, their volume decreases due to the reduction in this empty space, resulting in an increase in pressure.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
What happens when a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied on pure water?
It is compressed and occupies a smaller volume.
Why can a gas be put into a container which has a smaller or larger volume than the gas?
Because the gas hasn't not a form and can be compressed or expanded.
