Answer:

Compressibility is reducing the volume by increasing the pressure of a substance like liquid or gas. It is a physical characteristic of a substance especially gases.

Everyday life examples:

(1) LPG - These gas cylinders have compressed natural gas to liquid gas to store and use as fuels.

(2) Tubes of bicycles are filled by the pumps that compress the air.

(3) Carbonated soda filled with the help of compressing the carbon dioxide into the bottle.

4) oxygen bottles in medical institutes for helping the patient to breathe.
