What are amount of dissolved gases?

The amount of dissolved gases is how much gas can fit inside a liquid, like bubbles hiding under water.

Imagine you're in a bathtub filled with water, that's your liquid. Now think about the air you blow into it, that's your gas. When you blow bubbles, some of them float up to the top, but others stay trapped underneath, just like invisible little friends.

Now picture this: if you keep blowing more and more air into the water, eventually the water can’t hold any more bubbles, it’s full! That’s what happens when a liquid has reached its maximum amount of dissolved gases.

Some liquids are like sponges, they love to soak up gas. Soda is one of them. When you open a soda can, the dissolved carbon dioxide (the gas) rushes out as bubbles. That’s why it fizzes!

If you shake the soda, more bubbles form because you're mixing things up, just like when you shake up a bottle of soda before opening it, and whoosh, it all comes out at once!
