Soda bubbles are full of gas. (In fact, that's all they are.) The gas in the bubbles is less dense than the soda surrounding them, so they float up.

In layman's terms, the bubbles are full of gas that is lighter than the liquid and that makes them float. Sometimes you see people sticking their fingers into the foam to keep it from overflowing. This makes the bubbles disappear suddenly, because when the natural oil on our skin touches the bubbles and spreads across them, it breaks them down.

a finger in the soda changes the surface tension of the bubbles so that they are no longer able to hold themselves together.

When you shake a bottle of soda or move it around, it builds up fizz that will make bubble or it will explode in your face like a giser and ruin your neighbors lawn (;

Because the volume of soda the bubble displaces is heavier than the gas in the bubble.

Go to the left side where the barrelfish is behind the rock wall. Use your sub to block the vent that blows bubbles out at you. The bubbles will go inside and shove the barrelfish down. Go down and block the vent there, and the bubbles push him right. Go right and block that vent to shove him to the upper left where you can get your photo.


Why do mento's make a sprite soda explode?

Basically you are witnessing the surface effect. The candy is releasing the dissolved carbon dioxide in the carbonated soda. The carbon dioxide is forming bubbles at a rapid rate. When the bubbles get to the top the have nowhere else to go but up so they fly out of the bottle, pushing much of the liquid with them.


If you took soda into zero gravity which way would the bubbles go?

The bubbles would acumilate in to one "mega" bubble at the middle of the water bubble. Then, after some time it will burst the water bubble, and escape in to the surrounding air.
