Question

with the cap fixed on, the student pushes on the plunger with as much force as they can and they are able to push the plunger in some. which of the following conclusions can the student make?
o the substance is a gas because it is blue.
o the substance is a gas because it is compressible.
o the substance is a liquid because it is blue.

Explanation:

Gases are compressible due to the large spaces between their particles. Liquids, on the other hand, have very little space between particles and are nearly incompressible. The ability to push the plunger indicates that the substance is compressible, which is a characteristic of gases. Color is not a determining factor for the state of matter.

Answer:

The substance is a gas because it is compressible.
