The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.

Does packaged water need ullage?

Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.


Why does it take an enormous amount of pressure to compress a liquid?

It takes more pressure to compress a liquid than a gas because the molecules in a liquid are already much closer together than the molecules in a gas. To get them even closer requires a great deal of pressure.

What are two characteristics of fluids?

Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Gas is easy to compress and expands to fill its container while liquid is hard to compress.


What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?

The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.


What is compressor use for?

compressor is used for compress the gas or liquid to a certain level "Based on design" like In a air-conditioning compressor is used for compress the gas on high temperature and high pressure in the result gas convert to high temperature liquid form.

Which is the hardest to compress?

Files that are already compressed, such as multimedia files like MP3 or JPEG, are typically harder to compress further because they lack redundancy and patterns that compression algorithms can take advantage of.
