Question

Give an experiment to prove that gases are. More compressible as compared to liquids

Answer 1

Take three 100 ml syringes and remove their pistons. Also, close the nozzles of the syringes with rubber
corks. Then, fill one syringe with chalk powder and the other with water. Now, insert the pistons back into the syringes and push them.

(refer the attachment)

You will observe that the pistons of the syringes (containing chalk pieces and water) require a large
amount of force, while the piston of the third syringe is comparatively easier to push. Hence it
shows that gases are highly compressible. 

Answer 2

AIM- To show that gases are more compressible than solids and liquids.

MATERIAL REQUIRED - Syringe(100ml , two) , rubber cork.

PROCEDURE :

(a) Try to push the piston into both the syringes with almost equal force.See what happens.

(b) Insert a nozzle in each syringe into a rubber cork.

(c) Pull out the piston from both the syringes.

(d) Fill one with water . Let other one have water inside it.

(e) Insert piston in both the syringes.

OBSERVATIONS

The piston can be easily pushed inside the syringe that contained it.

The piston in the syringe filled with water cannot be pushed inside .

CONCLUSION

Gases are highly compressible.

Liquids are slightly compressible
