A dissolved gas is, simply enough, gas that has been dissolved into another material. This creates a solution, a mixture, where the gas is the solute, the minor component, and the other material, generally a liquid, is the solvent, the main component.
Not all gases are flammable. eg carbon dioxide, nitrogen or helium. Flammable gases are those which react easily with oxygen in the air to cause combustion... such as hydrogen, methane or propane etc. Even flammable liquids are flammable only because they give off a flammable gas at temperatures below. Gasoline evaporates at room temperature into a mixture of flammable gases which are far more flammable than the liquid itself.
