Question

Which of the following objects can be most compressed and why? Coal powder, Chlorine, Ice cream, Milk

Answer 1

Cl can be most compressed because it is a gas and the inter molecular spaces between the molecules in a gas is too high

Answer 2

Answer:

Chlorine can be compressed very easily.

Explanation:

• Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at normal temperature. Chlorine has a harsh, unpleasant stench that is discernible even at low quantities, akin to bleach.
• Because chlorine gas has a density about 2.5 times that of air, it will first settle near the ground in locations with minimal air movement.
• Compressibility refers to the ability to be compressed by pressure into a smaller area.
• Porosity causes this characteristic, while the change in bulk is produced by pressure pushing the particles closer together.
• A fluid's compressibility is simply a measure of the change in density induced by a certain pressure change.
• In general, gases are very compressible, but most liquids are extremely compressible.
• Chlorine gas is extremely readily compressed.
• Gas is the condition of matter that can be compressed more easily than any other state of matter.

Hence chlorine will be compressed the most as compared to coal powder, ice cream, milk.
