but i thought that cool water could hold more dissolved gasses than warm water. Its fairly well accepted that cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water. Therefore, heating a solution (as in the jacuzzi on the Peace) might cause excess gas to form bubbles as it is forced out of solution?
If this were not the case, soft drinks should be more effervescent at cold temps than at room temperature or after sitting in a hot car.
