Compressibility is the ability of something to be "squashed" into a smaller space. Gases are very compressible with relatively little pressure. Liquids are much less compressible and solids even less so. (Try to squeeze your desk into a smaller space...)

∙ 13y agocompressibility of gases is used to make dry ice(solid CO2) and the gases are compressed in the gas cylinders in which it stays in liquid state and when we release the pressure then the liquid changes to gas...n many more are there...............i dunno

∙ 10y agoWhen you are talking about the compressibility of gas, what is meant is that the thickness of the gas is being discussed. Is the gas easy to compress or is it very viscous already, can it be pressurized or not?

Does increases in pressure increase the compressibility of liquids?
No,an increase in pressure in liquid does not increase it compressibility but it does in gas:-P
What has an indefinite shape and has slight compressibility?
gas
Does a gas have very low compressibility?
No. Gasses are normally highly compressible. Liquids such as water and melted metals, have low compressibility.
Which characteristic of a gas is used in supplying oxygen cylindersto hospitals?
compressibility
Which characteristic of a gas is used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospitals?
Compressibility. A lot of gas is forced into the cylinders.
What are the disadvantage of pneumatics?
the compressibility of gas
What has an indefinite shape and has slight compressibility?
gas
Does increases in pressure increase the compressibility of liquids?
No,an increase in pressure in liquid does not increase it compressibility but it does in gas:-P
What is the super compressibility factor of natural gas?
1.074
Does a gas have very low compressibility?
No. Gasses are normally highly compressible. Liquids such as water and melted metals, have low compressibility.
What property of gas is utilized when natural gas is supplied for vehicles?
The compressibility of gases is utilized.
Compressibility factor of steam?
For an Ideal gas(steam), the compressibility factor is obviously unity under all conditions whereas for real gas(steam), the compressibility factor may be less or more than unity based on the actual conditions. With best regards, elavazhgan.
Two characteristics of a gas are?
Low density, no shape, high compressibility
What is the compressibility factor of chlorine gas at 1 ATM and 250C?
1.0
Which characteristic of a gas is used in supplying oxygen cylindersto hospitals?
compressibility
Which characteristic of a gas is used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospitals?
Compressibility. A lot of gas is forced into the cylinders.
Do gases and liquids share the compressibility property?
Gases and liquid do not share the same compressibility property. In liquids, the molecules are approximately lesser compressed, that Is why they move around freely and does not have fixed shape. While gas is the most compressible and it doesn't have a shape.
