 Welcome back to Kids Spent Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is why does drinking water from a faucet look cloudy sometimes? Sometimes the water coming out of your tap looks a little cloudy, especially during the winter. The cloudy in us is actually tiny air bubbles that kind of like the bubbles you see in carbonated drinks. It usually happens when it's very cold outside because the solubility of the air as the water pressure increases and or the water temperature decreases. The cold water holds more air than warm water. In the winter the water travels from the reservoir which is very cold and it warms up during the travel to your tap. Some of the air in that present is no longer soluble and it comes out of the solution. Also water under pressure has something to do with it. The water in your pipes is pressurized to a degree which helps get the water all the way from that water tower to your home. Water under pressure holds more air than the water that is not pressurized. Once the water comes out of your tap the water is no longer under pressure and the air comes out in a solution as bubbles. The best thing you can do is to let it sit in an open container until the bubbles naturally disappear or like I'm doing take a spoon and lightly tap the side of the glass and it'll release the bubbles to the top and clear the water a little bit faster. So when I do this experiment usually we don't we can't do this in the summertime we don't get the water to be all cloudy like this so it's really cool when it starts to get a little bit colder out here in california and we start to get those air bubbles and it starts to get that cloudy cloudy look into the water and then we're able to take that spoon and click it really quick and you're able to disperse those bubbles a lot faster. So I hope you enjoyed this video remember to share and like and thanks for watching.
