Which of the following has the minimum compressibility ?
Correct answer: A. Water at room temperature
- A. Water at room temperature
- B. Air at room temperature
- C. Oxygen at room temperature
- D. Nitrogen at room temperature
Explanation
Liquids are far less compressible than gases because their molecules are already closely packed. Hence water at room temperature has the minimum compressibility among the listed fluids.
