Which method can you use to investigate the compressibility of a gas?

mix it with another gas

increase the pressure on it

add heat to it

transfer it to a larger container

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that in a gas, molecules are away from each other due to more kinetic energy between its particles. As a result, there are more number of collisions between them.

So, when we apply pressure on a gas then its molecules come closer to each other. Due to which there occurs decrease in its volume.

Thus, we can conclude that to investigate the compressibility of a gas increase the pressure on it.
