Why are gases compressible and liquids and solids are not?
Gases are compressible because there is large amounts of space between the gas particles which allow them to be compressed together under pressure. For liquids there is very little space between the particles so when put under pressure their is very little visable compression. And for solids there is no space between the particles so there is no compression possible.
Why do gases spread and mix together faster than water?
Gases spread and mix faster than water because gases have lower viscosity and molecular interactions compared to liquids like water. This allows gas molecules to move more freely and quickly to fill the available space. Additionally, gases are compressible, meaning their volume can change easily with pressure, which also aids in their rapid mixing.
Can you list ten properties of liquids?
The particles are not fixed.The liquid will change to the shape of the container it is held in.There is some attraction between particles.The particles have more kinetic energy than in a solid state.The particles have less kinetic energy than in a gaseous state.When cooled liquids may solidify to a solid.When heated liquids may evaporate to gases.1L of pure H2O at 4 degrees celcius at normal pressure has a mass of 1kg
How do liquids and gases differ?
Liquids and gases can be categorized differently through many ways, specially through their partcile composition. Liquid particles are close together and pass pass each other easily. In the other hand, gas particles are well separated and have lots of free space to move at high speeds.
Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?
Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids or solids?
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
Why solids is not compressible why?
solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible
Explain why liquids and gases differ in density and the ability to be compressed?
Liquids are denser than gases because their particles are more closely packed together. Gases are easily compressible because their particles are far apart and can be pushed closer together. In contrast, liquids have less room to compress because their particles are already close together.
Why gases are compressible not liquids?
The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
Are solids incompressible materials?
Solids are not completely incompressible, but they are much less compressible than liquids and gases. This means that solids can be compressed slightly under high pressure, but their volume does not change significantly compared to liquids and gases.
Why are liquids sometimes more practical to use in a hydraulic system than gases?
Because liquids cannot be easily compressed into a smaller space.
Why are gases compressible but not liquid?
The molecules of gases are farther one from another than in liquids. But liquids are also compressive although in a very less scale than gases. Put some liquid in a syringe, put your finger on the output side and press the piston. You'll notice that the liquid is slightly compressed.
Why are liquids more compressible than solids?
i also want the answer of this question...please help??it's important.....
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
Can you compression a liquid why or why not?
Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.
Why are gases compressible and liquids and solids are not?
Gases are compressible because there is large amounts of space between the gas particles which allow them to be compressed together under pressure. For liquids there is very little space between the particles so when put under pressure their is very little visable compression. And for solids there is no space between the particles so there is no compression possible.
Why do mechanical waves travel faster through solids and liquids than gases?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
