Question

Explain the application of compressblity in gases with an example

Answer 1

a gas can be compressed easily because its particles are very far apart and there are large spaces between them.( which can be reduced by compression ). one of the important property of gas is it has high compressibility rate.

they can be compressed into very small volumes by applying large pressures.

example :

due to its high compressibility ,fairly large mass of a gas can be put in a small metal cylinder by compression.such gas cylinders can be transported conveniently from one place to another.

the cooking gas (liquefied petroleum gas,LPG) which we use in our homes is a compressed gas.
