Yes, atmospheric pressure acts on bubbles equally in all directions due to surface tension, which causes the bubble to form a sphere. This equal pressure distribution allows the bubble to maintain its shape and not collapse under the pressure difference.

Relation between atmospheric pressure and boiling point?

As atmospheric pressure increase so does the boiling pont, when atmos. pressure decreases so does boiling point. A liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.


What is the impact of coffee bubbles on the weather?

Coffee bubbles do not have a direct impact on the weather. The bubbles in coffee are caused by gases released during the brewing process and do not affect atmospheric conditions or weather patterns.


What is the point at which a liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?

This temperature is called the boiling point, and indicates the temperature at which a liquid will assume a gaseous state, given the addition of the heat of vaporization.That is the boiling point.


Why do vapor bubbles not form in water at room temperature and standard pressure?

we know that water bubbles are formed when external pressure becomes equal to the internal pressure so room temperature is 20 digree to 25 digree and internal pressure deos not equal to external pressure at this temperature so it is clear that vapor bubbles deos not formed in water at room temperature and standard pressure where standard pressure is 760 torr.


How does increasing pressure in a chamber help treat the bends?

Spending time in a barometric chamber (in which the pressure is raised above atmospheric) causes nitrogen bubbles in the blood stream (the cause of the bends) to go back into solution and gives the nitrogen the opportunity to exit the body via the lungs so that it won't come back out of solution when the pressure is lowered.

Why does water boil when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?

Water boils when its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure because at this point the molecules in the liquid have enough energy to escape into the gas phase, creating bubbles and causing the liquid to boil. This balance of vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure allows the liquid to change into a gas at a constant temperature.


What is the pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid?

The pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid is equivalent to the vapor pressure of the liquid at that particular temperature. As the liquid heats up, the vapor pressure increases until it matches the surrounding atmospheric pressure, causing bubbles to form and the liquid to boil.


Can bubbles be square?

The bubbles can never be of square shape for surface tension reasons as well as the reason that the pressure inside the bubble is distributed equally through all directions.


What is it called when bubbles escape the surface of a heated liquid?

The process of bubbles escaping the surface of a heated liquid is called boiling. It happens when the liquid reaches its boiling point and the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure, causing bubbles to form and rise to the surface.


Why do you see bubbles coming out when you open a Pepsi can?

The fluid is saturated or close to saturation with CO2 at the pressure in the bottle before opening, but supersaturated at atmospheric pressure. Bubbles will form (nucleation) on any floating solids or surfaces allowing the CO2 to approach saturation at atmospheric pressure.


When water in a beaker is heated bubbles come out to the surface why?

When a droper is dipped into water and its bulb is pressed air bubbles seems to occur in water because the dropper was filled with air before it was dipped in water and when we press the bulb air comes out forming air bubbles and the space is filled with water .

Does an air bubble in the water contain atmospheric air or dissolved air?

It is disolved air because it is contained in the water, and is not free air in the atmosphere. Most bubbles in water are carbon dioxide. In a carbonated drink, this carbon dioxide gas that is put in the water (or Coke) under pressure, when the pressure is released the bubbles form. Even in pond water, the bubbles are likely caused by some small animal.


Why do bubbles rising to the surface of the ocean expand?

The deeper the bubbles are in the ocean, the greater the pressure is. As they rise to the surface, the pressure decreases, allowing the bubbles to expand.


Where does boiling take place in a liquid?

Boiling occur in the entire volume of the liquid.


Does the boiling temperature of water change with altitude?

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature where the molecules have enough energy to break the inter molecular bonds and form gas bubbles anywhere throughout the liquid. The higher the atmospheric pressure the more energy is required to form the bubbles and, therefore, the higher temperature is required. The boiling point of water varies depending on the weather ie the current atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of water decreases as the altitude increases.


Defined as the point as which liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?

The normal boiling point(also called the atmospheric boiling point or the atmospheric pressure boiling point)is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere.The normal boiling point of water is about 100 degrees Celsius at a pressure of 1 ATM (i.e., 101.325 kPa).General Useful Information:The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure, but the environmental pressure may or may not be equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 ATM.If the surrounding environmental pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is less than the normal boiling point.If the surrounding environmental pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is greater than the normal boiling point.At the boiling point, adding enough heat to the liquid will cause the liquid to vaporize (that is boil or form a gas).
