Chapter 13.1, Problem 17SSC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to infer that why gases are compressed which are used in hospitals. It is to understandwhy high temperature should not be provided to compressed gas and what should be done with it before inhalation.

Concept introduction:

It is based on pressure and volume change on compression.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 17SSC

Gases are compressed to decrease the volume of the gas.

High temperature is prohibited because it can break the container.

Before inhalation of gas in hospitals, it should first be decompressed.

Explanation of Solution

  • The gases are compressed before storing because by doing this, the gases can be stored in smaller containers rather than larger containers which helps to store them in smaller area.
  • It is advised to shield high temperature because on increasing the temperature, the particles of gas will get kinetic energy and particles will move more and more randomly and exert more pressure on the walls of container and that high pressure might break the container and cause damage to our surroundings.
  • The gas which is to be inhaled should first be decompressed before inhaling.
Conclusion

Gases are compressed to decrease the volume of the gas.

High temperature is prohibited because it can break the container.

Before inhalation of gas in hospitals, it should first be decompressed.
