Standard air can be compressed until it becomes a liquid according to the Ideal Gas Law. The density of liquid air is about 870 kilograms per cubic meter, and so theoretically you could get the compressed air down to this before it transitions to a liquid.

Also, if the air were thrown into a black hole, or there is enough air to create a black hole, then theoretically the mass would be concentrated at a point in the center and have a volume of zero.

How do you work out volume of compressed air?

To calculate the volume of compressed air, use the ideal gas law equation: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure of the compressed air, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature. This formula allows you to calculate the volume of the compressed air if you know the pressure, temperature, and quantity of air.


What is a compression ratio?

Compression Ratio is the ratio between the original volume and the compressed volume in combustion chamber. The compression ratio is denoted as CR. It is the measure of how much air-fuel mixture is compressed during the compression stroke in the case of the gasoline engine (in the case of the diesel engine only air is compressed. Compression ratio is found by dividing the volume of stroke of the cylinder (swept volume) and clearance volume when the piston is at BDC by the volume when the piston is at TDC (ie clearance volume). Compression ratio= (Swept volume + Clearance volume) / Clearance volume. For example engine has a Swept volume of 700 cc. It has clearance volume 50 cc. Compression ratio= (700 + 80) / 80 =9.75: 1 It means Air fuel mixture is compressed to 1/9.75 of its original volume during compression stroke.


Does air is capable of being compressed?

Yes, air can be compressed. When air is compressed, its volume decreases while the pressure and temperature increase. This process is commonly used in applications such as air compressors and pneumatic tools.


How is compressed air made?

Compressed air is made by using an air compressor to increase the pressure of the surrounding air. The air compressor takes in large volumes of air and reduces its volume by compressing it, resulting in high-pressure compressed air. This compressed air can then be stored in tanks or used for various applications.


Which substance can be compressed in a jar to change its volume?

Air can be compressed in a jar by applying pressure, which changes its volume. This can be demonstrated by using a vacuum pump to remove air from the jar, causing the remaining air to compress.


By how much does the density of air increase when it is compressed to half its volume?

When air is compressed to half its volume, its density doubles. This is because the same mass of air is now occupying half the volume, resulting in a higher concentration of air molecules in that space.


When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?

Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air


What exactly is compressed air?

Air that is held inside one of several types of special containers at a decreased volume is known as compressed air. For the air to be compressed, its pressure inside the container must be at a higher pressure than that of the atmospheric air outside of it.


What is more elastic air or water?

Air is more elastic than water. This is because air is compressible, meaning it can be easily compressed under pressure and then expand back to its original volume, while water is much less compressible.


What makes up 21 percent of the air by volume?

Oxygen makes up 21 percent of the air by volume.


What is the formula for calculating tank pressure in a compressed air system?

The formula for calculating tank pressure in a compressed air system is: Pressure (P) (Volume of Air in Tank (V) Temperature (T) Gas Constant (R)) / Volume of Tank (V)
