Question

When water is heated, we see bubbles rising up. Why?

Short Note

Solution

Water has a lot of air dissolved on it. This is what allows breathing to fishes and other aquatic beings. The solubility of gases decreases when the temperature is raised, and that is why the dissolved air bubbles out from the water.
