Why small bubbles are formed on water before it boils?

Boiling is not as fine a process as it might seem. Evaporation increases gradually until boiling is reached. Boiling occurs when there is sufficient heat to immediately turn the water to its gaseous state. The bubbles you see forming at the bottom of a pot for example are water vapor having been boiled to gas and tend to form at the bottom because that is where it is hotter- near the heating source. You'll see steam coming off of heated water but the bubbles that are forming during boiling are water being turned to gas. Essentially the bubbles are a less intense form of boiling. As you get hotter water the bubbles will form more rapidly and will "boil" as you're more familiar with it.


How do bubbles form in boiling water?

When water boils, the heat converts some of the water to steam and each bubble is a steam bubble. Steam is a gas that is lighter than water, and so the bubbles rise to the surface of the water where the steam is released. As the steam cools in the air, it forms water vapor, and that is what we see. Most people call the vapor "steam", but steam is a transparent gas, like air.


How can you tell if water is boiling?

when it is changing into gas... bubbles. It is boiling when bubbles begin breaking the surface. the water o nthe bottom is being heated it mixes when it rises because of convection currents. after the water is almost 100 C the water that gets hot enough evaporates and comes out as water vapor. The bubbles are full of steam which gets released when the bubble hits the surface.


Why do some gas bubbles pass through lime water when first heated?

Cause of the presence of carbondioxide


When CCl4 boils what is inside the bubbles?

when any liquid BOILS the bubbles just contain the same substance, but just as a gas.now why did I put 'boils' in capitals?you know if you boil water there are tiny bubbles already forming before it is actually boiling. these are the gasses which were dissolved in the water.

What does hot water do when it is heated so much that it produces bubbles of steam?

Then it is boiling


Composition of a water bubble in boiling water?

A water bubble consists of oxygen. Bubbles occur because of escaping air from liquids when heated. There is plenty of oxygen in water and that is why the bubbles are mostly oxygen.


What are the bubbles seen in boiling water?

They are regions (bubbles) of gaseous water (water vapor) that have been heated from liquid to gaseous state (having reached the boiling point at 100 deg Celsius).

Why does boiling water spit?

Properties in the water heat and have to expand and it makes bubbles to get air.The water molecules get heated and as they get heated, they begin to move faster and faster.once the water reaches a certain temp it turns to a gaseous form
