No, air cannot be compressed completely in a sealed plunger due to the limitations of Boyle's Law. As pressure increases, volume decreases, but it will never reach zero volume. Some air molecules will always remain in the sealed plunger.

What does the air pressure do when a sealed bag is compressed and more space is available in the bag?

When a sealed bag is compressed and more space is available in the bag, the air pressure inside the bag decreases. This is because the air molecules are now occupying a larger volume, leading to a lower pressure.


Whes a sealed bag is compressed more space is avaiable in the bag but the air pressure?

When a sealed bag is compressed, the air inside the bag gets more tightly packed, which increases its pressure. Even though the volume of the bag may decrease due to compression, the air molecules inside become more densely packed, leading to increased pressure.


Can water evaporate in a sealed jar?

If the jar is not completely full of water, and the air inside is not completely saturated, then yes, a little bit can.


Does air come into the room from the outside?

Yes, unless you have a completely sealed off room that only gets airconditioned air.


What happens to the air pressure when a sealed bag is compressed?

When a sealed bag is compressed, the air inside the bag is forced into a smaller volume, which increases the air pressure. According to Boyle's Law, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant. Therefore, as the volume decreases due to compression, the air pressure within the bag rises until the bag reaches its elastic limit or the pressure equalizes with the surrounding environment.


When a sealed bag is compressed does the air pressure decresssed?

Assume temperature remains constant, then the pressure will rise in proportion to the decrease in volume, and vice versa.


Why won't a supersoaker water gun work if it is completely filled with water?

They pump air into the chamber and compress it. Compressed air drives out the water. You must have room for air.


Which categories is usage of compressed air and gas divided into?

The three major categories of usage for compressed air and gas are: compressed air and gas for process services, compressed air for power, and compressed air for general industrial applications.


When a sealed bag is compressed less space is available in the bag and the air pressure?

increases. This increase in air pressure can cause the bag to expand outward, in an attempt to reach equilibrium with the surrounding pressure.


What do compressed air dryers do?

A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.


How does pneumatic air gun work?

it works with compressed air


Why must spacecraft be completely sealed?

Space is a vacuum and would suck all the air out of the spacecraft not to mention freeze the interior of it.
