The fluid is saturated or close to saturation with CO2 at the pressure in the bottle before opening, but supersaturated at atmospheric pressure. Bubbles will form (nucleation) on any floating solids or surfaces allowing the CO2 to approach saturation at atmospheric pressure.

∙ 12y agoPepsi and other types of soda are in a group called carbonate drinks. In such drinks carbon dioxide gas is forced into the water under pressure and dissolves in it, reacting to form carbonic acid. When you open the can you release the pressure and the carbonic acid becomes unstable, breaking down back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide then escapes as bubbles. Shaking the can speeds up this process.

Why does a glass of water contain bubbles after being left out on a counter all night?
Carbonates drinks such as Pepsi contain Carbon Dioxide (hence the name). However, this gas will not stay mixed in with Pepsi unless under pressure (which explains why, when you open a bottle of Pepsi, you hear a fizzing). This is why, when you pour the drink into a glass, you see bubbles rising to the top and popping. These are bubbles of Carbon Dioxide escaping the mixture. When all the Carbon Dioxide has escaped the glass/bottle, the drink will go flat. In short, they escape into the atmosphere.
How is the number of bubbles produced by the plant related to the rate of photosynthesis?
One of the products of Photosynthesis is oxygen (Carbon Dioxide and Water give Glucose and Oxygen) and the bubbles you see coming from pond weed are actually the oxygen being produced from Photosynthesis. So therefore, the more/faster the bubbles, the quicker Photosynthesis is happening.
What can be done to make noble gases visible?
put it in water if it is oxygen you will see bubbles =)
What do you see when a gas is being made in a reaction?
bubbles
Why do you think you may see a few bubbles forming in part 1 with the sugar solution?

Antifreeze leaking from reserve no heat?
The coolant is not flowing, causing no heat. Look at the antifreeze coming out to see it there are bubbles in it. If there are bubbles then you have a blown head gasket. If not, then you have either a bad thermostat of bad water pump.
How do you purge the air from the fuel system of your 454 international tractor?
is it diesel ?, i f so you will need two people, crack open the fuel lines going into the engine now have someone crank the engine,and you look at the fuel lines and wait for the gas to start coming out, you will see little bubbles,when the bubbles stop, tighten the lines. i hope that works for you.
How can you test if a soda has fizz in it without tasting it?
if you open it and u see bubbles it means it has gas orrr u can shake it lol
What is in the bubbles you see when water is boiling?
What you mostly see in the bubbles is steam, which is water in gas form.
What is in the bubbles that you see when water is boiling?
If there are big bubbles that pop then it is boiled

The bubble coming out of the breaker.what is the name of gas?
When you first start to boil water, the bubbles that you see are basically air bubbles. Technically, these are bubbles formed from the dissolved gases that come out of the solution, so if the water is in a different atmosphere, the bubbles would consist of those gases. Under normal conditions, the first bubbles are mostly nitrogen with oxygen and a bit of argon and carbon dioxide. As you continue heating the water, the molecules gain enough energy to transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase. These bubbles are water vapor. When you see water at a "rolling boil," the bubbles are entirely water vapor. Water vapor bubbles start to form on nucleation sites, which are often tiny air bubbles, so as water starts to boil, the bubbles consist of a mixture of air and water vapor.
When you see a cyclist coming towards you and you wish to open your door when should you do so?
If you see the him/her, the cyclist will probably only be a few seconds away. Let him/her pass first - then open the door.

Where are you likely to see a pendulum working?
in pepsi factorys
How do you know wen your head gaskets are bad?
You may have bad head gaskets when,you are losing engine coolant and you don't see any leaks.you see a white smoke (steam) coming from the exhaust pipe.you have a sweet smell coming from the exhaust pipe.you see air bubbles in the radiator coolant with the radiator cap off and engine running.
