Why gases have two elasticities?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Elasticity in Gases**: - Elasticity in gases refers to their ability to change volume when subjected to pressure. Gases exhibit two types of elasticity due to their compressible nature. 2. **Volume Compression**: - Gases can be compressed because they have a large specific volume and low density. The intermolecular distances in gases are significant, allowing for compression. ...
