Why Do Bubbles Form In A Glass Of Water?

The video explains why bubbles form in tap water left at room temperature. It discusses how gases like nitrogen and oxygen dissolve in water under high pressure and low temperature, and how their solubility decreases as temperature rises. This phenomenon affects aquatic life, as warmer water holds less oxygen, impacting fish survival. Human activities, such as power plants discharging hot water, exacerbate this issue. The video also covers how increased pressure enhances gas solubility, using carbonated drinks as an example. Overall, it highlights the importance of temperature and pressure in gas solubility.
