Question

small pieces of chalk are put inside the syringe. on pushing the piston will the piston be moved easily? Give reason to support your answer .​

Answer 1

Answer:

The piston won't move at all after a certain point

Explanation:

Solids don't compress as they have very less intermolecular spaces and have a fixed volume

Answer 2

Answer:  

When small pieces of chalk are put inside the syringe, the piston will not be moved easily.  

Explanation:  

Chalk is a solid object and even if it is broken into tiny pieces and put inside the syringe, the piston will not be moved easily as easily it moves had liquid been put into it. Chalk is solid and the intramolecular bonds between its molecules are strong. To break those bonds, either strong manual force or heat or other external force will be required. Therefore in the present solid-state, it will take up physical space and resist the piston.
