Question

The large volumes of gases can be put into small volumes of cylinders because of their property known as:

• A. Sublimation
• B. Compressibility
• C. Evaporation
• D. Solidification

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Compressibility

Explanation for correct answer:

b. Compressibility - Compressibility is the property of being compressed by pressure into a smaller volume.

Explanation for incorrect answers:

a. Sublimation - Sublimation is the conversion of materials from the solid to the gaseous phases with no intervening liquid step.

c. Evaporation - Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into vapors even when it is below its boiling point.

d. Solidification - The process through which a molten liquid becomes a solid is known as solidification.

Hence, option b) is the correct answer.
