Question

With the help of an activity show that gases are highly compressible

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

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.

Activity from class 9ncert book.
