If you took soda into zero gravity which way would the bubbles go?

The bubbles would acumilate in to one "mega" bubble at the middle of the water bubble. Then, after some time it will burst the water bubble, and escape in to the surrounding air.


Why milk overflows when boiled and not water?

Let's note some observations. When water is boiled, the liquid water gains thermal energy, becomes steam, comes to the top as bubbles and burst to go into the atmosphere. Similarly, when milk is boiled, the water turns to steam bubbles which move to the surface of the milk in the form of bubbles. But they cannot burst to the atmosphere easily because of the layer of fat on milk. The bubbles moving to the top continue to push the fat layer due to their kinetic energy. They cannot burst since they the pressure inside the bubble is less than that of the outside. When the fat layer surpasses the vessel walls, it results in the overflowing of milk. If you boil the milk after once allowing it to boil over or removing the fat layer, the boiling will induce overflow with lesser intensity when compared to that with the the fat present. The lesser boiling over takes place because of the remaining fat in the milk. Water does not boil over because it does not have any top layer which prevents the bursting of gas bubbles.


Why does bubbles appear when you squeeze a water spnoge?

bubbles appear when you squeeze a wet sponge because as well as pushing the water out you are pushing the air out to, there fore creating bubbles....


Why do bubbles form when you split up water?

When you split water you form hydrogen and oxygen gas. The gases are the bubbles.


How bubbles affect how fast does water freezes?

it affects the water because the bubbles have oxygen inside them which causes pressure

Do the bubbles on a solar cover go on top or in the water?

The bubbles need to go in the water, facing the bottom of the pool.


Why are there bubbles in your water after a while of leaving it out?

the water is evaporating which pulls the water into a gas and the air bubbles take up at that space, come to the top, and dissappear so if its out long enough the bubbles might go away


Why do bubbles come from the ground when water is poured on it?

The water displaces air, which moves to the top. It comes up through the water layer, creating bubbles.


Do bubbles in ale go top to bottom?

No it is the gas in the ale that makes it go up to the top.


Do fish have spit?

yes does bubbles at the top of the water are made by spit


What do you think is inside the bubbles that form when the water boils?

Water vapor (steam) is inside the bubbles that form inside boiling water. The bubbles that form prior to boiling are mostly dissolved gases escaping from the water.


What do you think is inside the bubbles that form when the water boils where did the water go?

It is the water vapor that is formed inside the bubbles. Water is lost in the air in the form of water vapor.


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.


Why is it no matter what color your bubble bath is the bubbles are always white?

The bubbles will always be white even if the bubble bath is a different color because it is the oxygen in the water that creates the bubbles. When the water foams, it is just like the bubbles on top of a beer that is poured from a tap. The bubbles are mostly air.


Why do vapor bubbles rise to surface when a liquid is boiling?

Since the bubbles have less density than the surrounding water, gravity pulls the water down, and the bubbles go up.


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.


How do bubbles stay together?

As the bubbles get into a containe and as the get to the top they can't go anywhere and when they staytogether they form foam/froth ..this means bubble cant go anywhere else so they stay together on the top of the container
