Yes. Gases are very compressible because there is a lot of empty space between the molecules. A liquid has almost no empty space between the molecules. When compressing a gas you are pushing the molecules closer together, getting rid of some of the empty space. Can't do that with liquids.

Example 18grams of liquid ware will occupy 18 ml or 0.018 Liter of space (volume). Boil that same 18 grams of water and it will occupy about 24000 ml or 24 Liters of space because in the gas form the same number of molecules are farther apart with lots of empty space between them .

Why does the density of an incompressible fluid remains constant?

In incompressible fluid density is same because velocity gradient is same on every layer of liquid at any cross section.


Water is incompressible fluid when what we do for bring it is compressible?

It can't be made compressible, if that's what you mean - unless you turn it into steam.There really is no such thing as an incompressible fluid; but the amount a liquid's volume changes under pressure is so little, that for many practical purposes it can be considered incompressible.


Is a gel incompressible?

Yes, gels are often considered incompressible because they consist of a three-dimensional network of polymer chains that trap a significant amount of liquid within their structure. This network limits the ability of the gel to change volume significantly under pressure. However, while gels are largely incompressible, they may exhibit slight compressibility under extreme conditions.


Does increase pressure in a tank increase its buoyancy?

no, it will not, in a compressible gas, the contents will increase in density, thus reducing its buoyancy. in an incompressible liquid or solid, no noticeable change will occur.

What is the bulk modulus of incompressible liquid?

The bulk modulus of an incompressible liquid is theoretically infinite, as it does not experience any volume change when subjected to external pressure. Since incompressible liquids are considered to have a constant volume, their bulk modulus is undefined.


How does pressure exerted by a liquid increase with depth?

It increases linearly, assuming the liquid is incompressible.

What are the characterstics of liquid?

It has a fixed mass, volume and density at a fixed temperature. It does not have a fixed shape. It is incompressible.

Is it possible to compress liquid?

The compressibility of liquids is low enough that considering them to be incompressible is usually a safe assumption.


Why hydraulic oil incompressible?

it is the property of the liquids. all the liquids are incompressible. this is because the change in volume due to pressure is negligible for liquids. in liquids the molecules are almost compact and hence no space for compression.


What are the differences between a gas and a liquid?

Is it rue that The volume of a liquid and a gas always stay the same?

Liquid: yes, more or less. Liquids are practically incompressible (with the pressures we usually have on Earth).Gases: no. Gases can easily be compressed.
