Liquid water, for example, transforms to solid ice when cooled to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), but ice can also be produced at room temperature by compressing water to pressures roughly 10,000 times above atmospheric pressure.

∙ 11y agoNot only water, no liquid is compressible. That is the basics of hydraulics, thanks to Pascal. He only discovered that pressure when exerted at one point of a liquid within a container (closed system) it spreads evenly at all area and the whole liquid is evenly pressurized.
Now, compression is possible when only there is intermolecular space is reduced, like in gas. Even solids could be compressed, but only their shape will change.
Compression should make a change in the volume of a substance in given space. And therefore, liquids can not be compressed. (the change could be very very insignificant even after applying huge pressure in terms of Giga Pascals)

What is the purpose of using a compressed air duster?
A compressed air duster is used to clean electronic devices that cannot normally be cleaned using water. For example, they can be used to clean keyboards and computers.
Why steam can be compressed while ice cannot?
sream is water particles in air, when compressed, the air is squeezed out. Ice can compress a little - when water freezes, it expands. People have used this to split stone. For example, to get the blocks for ancient Egyptian sculpture they would carve around the part the wanted, add water and let the overnight freeze break out the rest.
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
Why the petrol cannot be compressed?
Liquids in general have very little space between molecules. Gases have lots of space, and therefore can be easily compressed, but liquids don't.
Can oil be compressed?
Oil is a liquid. It cannot be compressed, it can flow and it has a medium density. Oil stays the same volume but it alters its shape to fit the bottom of the container it is put in. - A
Can you freeze-dry water?
It is my understanding that water cannot be compressed.
Do liquid compressed?
No, liquid cannot be compressed because you use syringe put water and you use your hand block the hole you push you cannot push.
What does cannot be compressed means?
Water can't be compressed. Water, like anything else, can be compressed. The change in volume even at huge pressure is very small, but the extent of compressibility is not an element of this question
Why can a syringe suck up water?
A syringe can suck water because water can change shape but cannot be compressed.
Where do you use the fact that gases can be compressed and liquids cannot?
a liquid can be compressed
What is a substance which cannot be compressed and cannot flow?
solid
How will you show that gases can be compressed while liquids and solids cannot be compressed?

A bag filled with gas is more effective at preventing injuries in a car accident than a bag filled with water because .?
Gas can be compressed, cushioning the impact on the bag. Water cannot be compressed, and will transmit more force to the person that hits it.
What is the purpose of using a compressed air duster?
A compressed air duster is used to clean electronic devices that cannot normally be cleaned using water. For example, they can be used to clean keyboards and computers.
What are the chrarcteristics of water?
1. They make you wet. 2. They lubricate things. 3.They exist in three states. 4. They cannot be compressed. Which is how you are able to squirt water out.
Can water vapor be compressed?
Yes, water vapor is a gas and all gasses can be compressed.
What is the difference in ability of water and air to be compressed?
Air is easy compressed, water with many difficulties at very high pressures.
