Atmospheric gases such as nitrogen and oxygen can dissolve in water. The amount of gas dissolved depends on the temperature of the water and the atmospheric pressure at the air/water interface.

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere. ... The open end of a glass tube is placed in an open dish of mercury.

Glass is a mysterious material, but when researchers apply pressure, it reveals secrets. ... (GeO2) to pressures up to five gigapascals, or 50,000 times atmospheric pressure. ...
