Most assuredly it does. An easy demonstration of this would be an elementary school experiment. Place a duck sauce packet in a bowl of water. If it doesn't float well but doesn't sink, put it in an empty 2-liter bottle of soda, fill with water, put cap back on tightly, and squeeze. The sauce packet should drop like a rock. This is because you squeezing increased the pressure surrounding the air trapped in the sauce packet and therefore caused it to shrink because liquids have a constant volume, whereas gases do not. Since no weight was lost while volume went down, the packet's contents became too dense to float weakly at the top of the bottle.

What is the volume of a bubble?

It depends on the size of the balloon. As the diameter of the balloon increases, its volume is cubed, therefore the volume quickly increases with the size of the balloon.


What happen to gas bubble volume as they rise in water?

As a bubble rises to the surface of a liquid the pressure on it is going DOWN. Therefore the bubble expands, and usually bursts at the surface.


Does volume affect water pressure?

Yes, the more the water the greater the pressure of all the water pushing down on other water.


What are some elements that change air pressure?

temperature (heat), volume, water vapor, and altitude (how high or low it is) all affect air pressure


How does gallons of water per minute affect water pressure?

The amount of water flowing by the gallon per minute affects water pressure in a way that means the higher the volume of water per minute, the higher the pressure the water will be. There is also the factor of air in the pipes that will slow down water pressure significantly.


What factors affect pressure and density in the atmosphere and oceans?

Pressure in the atmosphere is affected by area and force.Density on the other hand is affected by the mass and volume of water in the ocean.


What causes a 5 gallon water bottle to burp a bubble of air when water is drawn from its cooler jar?

It is my theory that the same volume of water taken from the water bottle has to be replaced by the same volume of air. Hence the air bubble rising to replace the space left by the water.


What effect does pressure have on water?

Water is effectively an incompressible substance, so pressure does not affect its' volume. However, its boiling and freezing points are directly related to the external pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (or the atmospheric pressure if it is contained in some uncovered pot). Greater external pressure requires higher temperature for water so as to have that value of vapor pressure for it to boil. This is how pressure affects water.


How does freezing water affect the volume and mass of water?

The volume increase, mass does not change.


What is the affect of anti-bubbles?

The effect of anti-bubbles is called 'water globule' or 'floating drops'. An anti-bubble is a reversed bubble wherein the water is in the air.


Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of a glass water?

The deeper you go under water the higher the pressure due to the weight of water above. Therefore the pressure of the water at the level of the bottom of the bubble is higher than the pressure at the level of the top of the bubble. The unbalanced force forces the bubble up. In all mixtures of (non-reacting) fluids and gases, the higher the density of a component, the lower it lies. Anything that has a density less than 1g/cm cubed (water density) floats but if it has a higher density than water then it sinks.


What is the hydrostatic pressure of freezing water?

When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
