To see the gases dissolved in your water, fill a clean cooking pot with water and let it stand at room temperature for several hours. Note the bubbles that adhere to the inner sides of the pot. Where do the bubbles originate? What do you suppose they contain? For further experimentation, place warm water from the kitchen faucet in one pot. In a second pot, place boiled water that has cooled down to the same temperature. You’ll find that boiling deaerates the water—that is, it removes the atmospheric gases. Why don’t fish live very long in deaerated water?
