Compressed air is MORE dense than expanded air. Density is the measure of an objects mass (measured in grams, kilograms, pounds etc) divided by its volume (cubic centimetres, litres, cubic feet, cubic yards etc).

D= m/V

Decreasing the volume of an object, or in this case a fixed amount of air, increases the density because the mass does not change but the volume gets smaller. Increasing the volume (expanded air) causes the density to decrease.

Does compressed air last longer in paintball?

No, Compressed air lasts much less than a comparably sized C02 tank. This is because CO2 is stored in liquid form, which is much more dense and takes up less space.

How do reduce density of concrete?

Add ballast that is less dense than the gravel/sand in the concrete such as LECA (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate).


Does compressed air sink more than non compressed air?

No, compressed air does not sink more than non-compressed air. In general, air behaves as a fluid, so its behavior is primarily governed by factors like temperature and pressure. Compressed air will tend to disperse and rise in a less dense environment, while non-compressed air will behave similarly.

Is less dense than?

Your question is hard to answer for you have not made it clear what you are asking. The term "is less dense than?" is not a question. If you were to ask "What is less dense than snow or water?" That would be a correct question.
