Boiling converts the liquid water to water vapor. The bubbles are the water vapor escaping. As substances warm up, they become less dense, and the less dense something is, the less mass it has, so the water vapour rises to the top. Water in a pan or kettle bubbles like this because the source of heat is at the bottom, so the water near the bottom boils first. If you could somehow heat something from the top down, it probably wouldn't bubble.
Water vapor is formed at the heated surface, and tends to coalesce on nucleation sites like an inflating balloon until it is carried to the free surface and released.

How does baking soda change the temperature of water?
it changes it because when you add baking soda to water it starts to bubble/boil up which mean when something bubble that mean that the temperature is rising because water boils at 100 degrees so therefor baking soda has some type of chemical that makes it bubble up
Why when you drop an egg on hot water bubbles rise?
When water is near the boiling point, there are micro-bubbles in the water, where the vapour pressure is equal to the surrounding water pressure plus the micro-bubble surface tension. This process is known as superheating. When an egg, or other object, is dropped into the superheated water, the surface tension is broken, and several micro-bubbles join together to form a single bubble visible to the naked eye. This process then is self-agitating, and creates more bubbles. This is the reason you should never boil water in the microwave, as it can instantaneously boil over and scald you.

What happens when you boil sperm?
it will bubble! That is gross, but if you want to know what will happen: Sperm are actually very sensitive to temperature, a change of just 2or 3 degrees can denature the sperm, cause damage, or even be fatal- so boiling live sperm will kill and destroy it immediately. The seminal fluid, which contains the sperm is made of mostly water- so just like any other aqueous fluid it will bubble and boil.

Does food colouring affect the time it takes for water to boil?
Food colouring does not affect how long it takes for water to boil. Both clear water and water with food colouring boil at the same speed with no real obvious differences in time.

What happens to a gas when it is put into a container?
the gas starts to bubble up (boil) and when you put cold gases in it it startes to cool down the gas starts to bubble up (boil) and when you put cold gases in it it startes to cool down
