A perturbation series solution is derived for isothermal bubble dissolution and bubble growth from an initially finite size. The new solution is superior in several aspects to the quasi‐stationary and quasi‐steady state approximations derived previously. The accuracy and range of validity of the new results are investigated by comparison with finite‐difference solutions of the equations governing bubble growth or dissolution. In addition, previous numerical solutions of the problem are compared to the finite‐difference results of this study.
