There is always dissolved oxygen and nitrogen in the water. When it's underpressure, (like when it's in a pipe) or when it's cold (like when it's down ina well), there can be more dissolved gas then when it's warm and sitting on the counter. When you first draw it out of the tap, the dissolved gas staysput, but given enough time it will slowly escape from the water. This usuallyhappens at nucleation sites, like a rough spot on the glass, just like bubblesform in a glass of beer. (See Craig Bohren's "Clouds in a Glass of Beer".)

∙ 14y agoThe bubbles in tap water are usually trapped air. The water travels through underground pipes where it is relatively cold and under pressure. When it comes out of the tap and into (for example) a glass it is no longer pressurised. It quickly begins to warm and the tiny bubbles of trapped air rapidly expand to a size where they can readily be seen.

∙ 12y agobecause when the water is poured or is running it is constantly moving and collects air which then basically gets pushed into the water
well that's just a vague answer sorry i hope it made you get a basic answer
Water ordinarily has gasses from the air dissolved in it.
If you leave the water standing, these gasses will to some extent come out of solution, the bubble nucleating wither around flaws in the glass, or around dust suspended in the water, or around radiation trails from cosmic radiation.

Why do you see bubbles when you put a bath sponge into water?
Do bubbles escape when you squeeze a sponge under water air
Do soap bubbles last longer in warm or cold air?
My answer is, that there are air bubbles in the bottom of it, (WHEN ITS BOILING) Than those air bubbles rise to the top, & That's how hot water bubbles more than cold water.
What compound is inside bubbles of boiling water?
These bubbles contain air.
What is inside the bubbles of boil water Where they come from?
Dissolved air bubbles out of the water, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapour starts to form inside the liquid in the form of bubbles
Is the composition of bubbles in boiling water the same as the bubbles that appear when cold water heats up?
They are the same. When cold water heats up and bubbles that means it is boiling.

What are those bubbles in boiling water could they be water gas what will happen eventually if you continue to boil the water?
What are the bubbles in boiling water? They are gaseous water and air. what will happen if you continue to boil the water? The water will evaporate, and fairly quickly.
Can you recognize gases in soda water?
Yes you can, all those little bubbles that float from the bottom to the top are Carbon Dioxide bubbles.

The bubble coming out of the breaker.what is the name of gas?
When you first start to boil water, the bubbles that you see are basically air bubbles. Technically, these are bubbles formed from the dissolved gases that come out of the solution, so if the water is in a different atmosphere, the bubbles would consist of those gases. Under normal conditions, the first bubbles are mostly nitrogen with oxygen and a bit of argon and carbon dioxide. As you continue heating the water, the molecules gain enough energy to transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. These bubbles are water vapor. When you see water at a "rolling boil," the bubbles are entirely water vapor. Water vapor bubbles start to form on nucleation sites, which are often tiny air bubbles, so as water starts to boil, the bubbles consist of a mixture of air and water vapor.
What compound is inside bubbles of boiling water?
These bubbles contain air.
What is wrong with your fish if they keep getting bubbles on them and then die?
they get bubbles on them? I've never seen it myself, but if you put in new water without leaving the water out to "age" for a few hours, there is a chance that your fish will suffer as the nitrogen bubbles form. Ever leave a glass of water out overnight? Those bubbles can even form INSIDE your fish which could cause the death you speak of.
What are the bubbles in boiling water made of?
the bubbles in boiling water is water in a gasious state rising to the surface.
Why do bubbles last longer in hot water?
Bubbles last longer in cool water because the cold water doesn't take energy from the bubbles
Why don't bubbles last longer in cold water?
Because the cold water makes the bubbles colder and then the bubbles may pop.
Will air bubbles appear if boiled water is reheated?
The bubbles are water vapour (ie steam) bubbles, not air. Therefore any heating of water back up to boiling point will renew the process of water vapour bubbles occurring.
What is inside the bubbles of boil water Where they come from?
Dissolved air bubbles out of the water, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapour starts to form inside the liquid in the form of bubbles
