Yes, gases are compressible because their particles are spread far apart and able to be pushed closer together when pressure is applied. This causes the volume of a gas to decrease when compressed.

Because gases are compressible, meaning their volume depends on the pressure exerted on them.


What is the difference between Co2 compressible and Co2 incompressible?

Gasses are compressible and liquids and solids are incompressible. Using this information one can surmise that CO2 compressible would be the gas phase of CO2 and CO2 incompressible would be the solid (dry ice) phase of CO2.


Is carbon monoxide compressible?

Yes, carbon monoxide is compressible. Like all gases, it can be easily compressed into a smaller volume by increasing pressure. This is due to the fact that gases have more empty space between their particles compared to solids and liquids.

Why a syringe filled with water can be pushed in?

All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid. The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.
