Gases aren't extremely soluble in liquids, but a bit of CO2 will dissolve in water. We also know that increasing the pressure will increase the solubility. Since soft drinks are initially under pressure (in the closed container) the solubility is increased. However, as soon as the container is opened, the pressure is reduced and the solubility decreases. This means that some of the gas within the soda will come "bubbling" out of solution. This is the carbon dioxide in fizzy drinks, and it is all due to the low solubility of carbon dioxide in liquids. IF CONNOR SNEEZES ON ME I WILL KILL HIM.
