What happens if you put an empty Coke can in the freezer?

The name soda normally implies gassy or "fizzy". Soda is fizzy because carbon dioxide, a gas, is dissolved in the water under pressure. When you open the soda the pressure inside the can is released and the gas bubbles out. The carbon dioxide sits happily in the water while under pressure, because it is quite soluble. However, carbon dioxide is not soluble in ice. When you freeze soda the gas comes out of solution, and causes an unusually high pressure in the can. You will often see the can distort, sometimes to the point of becoming almost a perfect sphere. Opening a can of frozen soda is always messy and can be dangerous. If you get a can like this, put it away in a safe place. As it thaws the carbon dioxide will go back into solution, the pressure will return to safe levels and the can will return to almost its original shape. It's OK to drink it.


Does crushing a bottle of soda keep it fizzy longer?

Because all soda is carbonated the longer it is open the less "frizzy" it will be. As the carbonated soda and flavored syrup are exposed to air they release carbon dioxide gas which release and do not recombine with the liquid. Depending on the level of carbonation it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for all of the the co2 to escape. Don't try this on beer or champagne unless you are conducting a well funded scientific experiment. Waste soda not happiness.

How much dry ice would you require in a bottle to make the sound of gas escaping when you open the bottle?

Not sure why you need dry ice in a bottle to produce sound. Open a soda or other fizzy drink bottle and you will get the sound of the carbon dioxide gas escaping.


Why does soda pops when open?

Soda has carbon dioxide gas dissolved in it. In the closed bottle, the soda is under pressure, and so the gas cannot escape. When you open the bottle, you release the pressure and the gas begins to escape -- you can see the bubbles rising. That is what makes the pop-fizz sound. If you leave the bottle open for a while, all the gas will escape and the soda goes flat. If you seal it back up, then the pressure builds back up inside, and keeps the gas dissolved in the soda, so it stays fizzy.


Why does a soda can make a popping sound when opened?

It is because soda has carbon dioxide gas in it. When the can is closed the soda is under pressure, and so the gas cannot escape. As soon as you open the bottle, the pressure is released and the gas begins to escape. That is what makes the sound. When all the carbon dioxide escapes, the soda is "flat".

Where was soda come from?

"Soda" comes from the early sophisticated name for seltzer which was soda siphon. People have since shortened the name and adapted it to what is now known as "soda". The name "pop" comes from the sound that the cans and bottles make when you open them. So soda pop is both together
