> First any liquid, reguardless of what it is "WILL NOT COMPRESS" !!
Actually, liquids can be compressed. But the degree is so miniscule as to be in many respects discounted entirely. You've got to ask yourself why many reactions take place better under pressure? Sure, most "pressurized" reactions take place where a gaseous phase is pressurized in the presence of liquids. This makes all the molecules - those in the gaseous and liquid phases bump around considerably more that they do at standard pressure. There are also hydraulic methods of increasing pressures in absence of gas(es) in order to achieve the same increased activity. I believe the age old accepted understanding that liquids do not compress is something akin to rounding pi to 3.00 to make it a bit more "understandable."
