After filling a glass with water and waiting for a while, bubbles appear Is there anyone who doesn’t notice? It’s like we filled soda instead of water…

So why do you think this is happening? Actually behind interesting scientific process lie.

So why and how do these bubbles form?

To understand this, we need to know how water and air mix. Water, which we know as H2O, It consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and this structure makes it a special molecule called a “dipole”.

On the other hand, it is usually the weather gases such as nitrogen and oxygen occurs. When the gases come into contact with the inner surface of the water, they create an attraction for the water molecules and dissolve them in the water.

Water can dissolve more gas when it is cold. However, as water gets warmer, this dissolved gases are released and creates tiny bubbles on the inner surface of the glass. Tiny defects called “nucleation points” are needed for bubbles to form.

on the surface of the glass minor defects, It helps gas molecules come together to form bubbles.

Changing air pressure can also affect bubble formation.

When air pressure increases, more gas dissolves in water. When pressure decreases, this Gases are released and bubbles form. Therefore, the temperature of the water in your glass and the surrounding air pressure play an important role in the formation of bubbles.

The formation of bubbles is actually caused by water and air, at the molecular level It is an indication of how they interact.
