Are the air bubbles that form on a straw submerged in liquid formed from oxygen that is already in the water or are they carried into the water by the straw as it is submerged?
Katiesunique
The straw gives energy to dissolved gases in the liquid, be those gases oxygen, or whatever. The energy given to the gases causes those gases to come out of solution in the water, and to collect on the surface of the straw.

Bubbles in volcanic rocks are known as vesicles. They are formed when magma or lava cools quickly before dissolved gases can escape, forming a cavity within the rock.

What is observed when potassium bromide and sulphuric acid react?

How is the rock pumice made?
Pumice is formed by the rapid cooling of gas entrained (frothy) felsic lava which is erupted from volcanoes. If the amount of trapped gases in the lava is high, and cooled quickly enough to trap the bubbles of gas before they can escape, vesicular pumice will be formed, resulting in the only igneous rock that is able to float in water.
