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 would you see water droplets form at the top of the syringe if you put it in a beaker filled with hot water in chemistry?

Does a 5cc or 10cc syringe have higher pressure?

The pressure generated by a syringe is a result of how hard the plunger is pushed and the internal diameter of the needle, not the size of the syringe.

Sam filled a 500ml conical flask with 200ml of water Then he attached a 100ml syringe full of air to the conical flask and pushed the plunger inwards What was the volume of air in the flask?

The total volume in the flask is 500ml of water + 100ml of air from the syringe, which equals 600ml. Since the 200ml of water takes up space in the conical flask, the remaining volume for air is 400ml.


What happen if you push down on the plunger of a syringe filled with air?

If you push down on the plunger of a syringe filled with air, the air inside the syringe will be compressed and the pressure will increase. Depending on how much force you apply, the air may be expelled through the needle if the pressure exceeds what the syringe can hold.

What is a tranqlier dart?

A tranquillizer dart - is essentially a hypodermic syringe filled with sedative, that's fired from a gun or blow-pipe. The needle contains three parts... the needle, the reservoir and the charge. Before use, the syringe is filled with the sedative and 'charged' with compressed air. When the dart hits the animal, a small sleeve surrounding the tip of the needle is pushed back, and the compressed air injects the drug.

What is the name of the force that describes what happens when a syringe is squeezed?

The force that describes what happens when a syringe is squeezed is hydraulic pressure. This force causes the fluid inside the syringe to be pushed out through the needle.


Why can a syringe suck up water?

A syringe can suck up water because when the plunger is pulled back, it creates a vacuum inside the syringe. This lower pressure causes the water to be drawn into the syringe to equalize the pressure.


Why you cannot squeeze a sealed syringe full of water?

because all the space in the syringe is taken up by water. If you squeeze the syringe it will break.
