The micrometre (SI symbol: μm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −6 metres ( 1 / 1 000 000 m = 0. 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists some items with lengths between 10 −6 and 10 −5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometers , or μm).
The answer is no - this is because the solubility of air (ie, mostly nitrogen and oxygen) in water decreases as you increase the temperature. Keenan's example of soda is an excellent everyday example of this general observation - hot coca cola certainly doesn't have quite the fizz as a cold one!
