Question

write the consequences if compressibility and diffusion are not properties of matter in gaseous state

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution

verified

S.No Property           Solid             Liquid               Gases

1. Shape They have a definite shape They do not have a definite shape They do not have a definite shape

2.  Volume They have a definite volume They do not have a definite volume They do not have a definite volume

3. Density They have high-density  Liquids have less density than solids Gases have the least density

4. The kinetic energy of particles Least  More than solids Maximum

5. Compressibility Negligible Low High

Rigidity: It is the property of matter to resist the change of its shape.

Compressibility: It is the property of matter in which its volume is decreased by applying force.

Fluidity: Matter can flow.

Filling a gas container: On filling, a gas takes the shape of the container.

Shape: Having definite boundaries.

Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by the particles of matter due to its motion.

Density: It is the ratio of mass per unit volume

Explanation:

Answer 2

The consequences if compressibility and diffusion are not properties of matter in gaseous state are as follows:-

• Compressed oxygen gas is used to fill oxygen cylinders in hospitals. If compressibility wouldn't be the property of gas then there would be no oxygen supply for patients.
• Methane is compressed to form CNG which is an important fuel to run vehicles and for household work.
• If diffusion wouldn't be the property of gases then marine organisms won't be able breath dissolved oxygen.
• Moreover, diffusion deprive the alveoli of lungs for exchange of gases.
