Question

With the help of a activity, show that gases are highly compressible than liquids and solids

Answer 1

Answer:

Take three 100 mL syringes and close

their nozzles by rubber corks, as

shown in Fig.1.4.

• Remove the pistons from all the

syringes.

• Leaving one syringe untouched, fill

water in the second and pieces of chalk

in the third.

• Insert the pistons back into the

syringes. You may apply some vaseline

on the pistons before inserting them

into the syringes for their smooth

movement.

• Now, try to compress the content by

pushing the piston in each syringe

we will find that the syringe with air is more easier to press than the syringes with solids and liquids
