What else can I help you with?
Can gasses and liquids be ductile?
No, gases and liquids are not ductile. Ductility is the property of a material to deform without breaking under tensile stress. Gases and liquids do not have a crystalline structure that allows for such deformation.
Why a syringe filled with water can be pushed in?
All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid. The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.
Why are volcanoes in the Andes so violent?
The volcanoes in the Andes are generally fed by very viscous, gas-rich magma. The gas is kept dissolved in the magma under enormous pressure. When the magma is close enough to the surface the lower pressure allows the gasses to come out of solution violently. This is what makes these eruptions explosive.
What physical property is shared by oxygen helium and carbon dioxide?
Being gasses, each of these is compressible.
Which salt has a solubility curve which resembles the behavior of gasses in solution?
Ammonium chloride has a solubility curve that resembles the behavior of gases in solution, as its solubility decreases with increasing temperature. This is similar to how gases become less soluble in liquid as temperature increases.
Is air a element solution heterogeneous mixture or a solution?
It is a solution of several gasses, the most abundant of which are nitrogen and oxygen.
In a plant what allows the exchange of gasses with the atmosphere?
Lenticel
Can gasses and liquids be ductile?
No, gases and liquids are not ductile. Ductility is the property of a material to deform without breaking under tensile stress. Gases and liquids do not have a crystalline structure that allows for such deformation.
What does the close arrangement of alveoli and capillaries allows for?
This exchange allows easy diffusion of gasses back and forth.
How thin walls help the alveoli?
It allows for rapid diffusion of gasses.
Can Cl2 and H2O form a homogeneous solution?
Yes. Gasses can dissolve in water.

How can a saturated solution be made to absorb more solid solute?
By incerasing the temperature of the solution
Why pH of unbuffered solution drifts during measurement?
Small amounts of gasses compete to make it slightly acidic or basic.
Can you get poisoned from creosote from a wood burner?
Yes, IF the combustion chamber and flu system leaks and allows combustion gasses to escape into the area where you are.
What do you call a hollow vertical structure of masonry which allows smoke and gasses to escape from a furnace fireplace or stove flue?
the correct answer is a chimney
Which property of gases best explains the ability of air bags to cushion the force of impact during a car accident?
Gasses are comperssible (plato)
