When a lemonade bottle is opened bubbles of carbon dioxide form. Explain using Le Chatelier's Principle?

because the bubbles of carbon dioxide have a smaller density so they rise and float on top of the lemonade


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".


Is hadacol tonic still available?

I have a bottle never been opened, no date found on bottle.


Why do emergency rafts aboard cruise ships have canisters of liquid carbon dioxide?

Emergency rafts aboard cruise ships are equipped with canisters of liquid carbon dioxide because the cans can be opened to inflate the raft very quickly. This is because opening the can will decrease the pressure and the CO2(l) will instantly become a gas.


Why is there a sudden effervescence when opening a bottle of carbonated?

Carbonated liquids have CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas dissolved in the liquid. When Soda bottles are sealed the pressure of the sealed bottle prevents the gas from escaping the liquid (the force of the container is higher than the energy the gas can supply thus the gas cannot escape the liquid and stays dissolved.) When you open the bottle the pressure is released and those molecules of gas with enough energy are now able to escape the liquid and thus bubbles form in the bottle. The same thing can be observed when you shake a bottle of soda. The shaking of the bottle provides the energy needed for the gas to escape the liquid, however until you open the bottle that gas is held in the liquid by the pressure. We all know what happens when you open a soda bottle that's been shaken up!

What is the acid that is released when you open a bottle of carbonated liquid?

When a bottle of carbonated liquid is opened, carbon dioxide gas is released. Dissolved carbon dioxide gas acts as a weak acid in water solution.


When will a carbonated beverage contain the most carbon dioxide?

If we are talking about a can or bottle that you buy at the store, it has the most carbon dioxide before you open it; once it is opened, carbon dioxide will steadily leak away. Every bubble contains carbon dioxide that is no longer dissolved in the beverage.


Why are bubbles released when the bottle or van is opened?

Its trapped carbon dioxide in the liquid in the container. It has been disturbed while in transit from the bottler till you open it. Also~ The bubbles are gas molecules that are trying to escape the low~pressure in the can or bottle.


When a bottle of soft drink is opened why does it pop?

The fizzing or popping you hear when you open a bottle of soda is the carbon dioxide escaping. Shaking the bottle makes the bubbles rise to the top and come out more forcefully.

When soda water bottle is opened a gas is released. Does a chemical reaction occur?

No, only gas escape from oversaturated carbon dioxide solution (de-pressurised) is purely physical.

What are the ingredients in coke that make it fizz?

The level of carbonation can vary by the size of the bottle or can. The dissolved carbon dioxide at the bottling plant is about 4 times the concentration in the atmosphere. This will slowly release into the air once the container is opened, and even more quickly if the container is cooled while unsealed.


Why do pop rocks and soda fizz?

Actually, carbon dioxide is shot into the soda and that what makes it so fizzy. can you explain why that happens?-flub flub


Why was there a delay of several seconds between when a soda bottle was opened and when it fizzed up?

Bubbles of carbon dioxide begin to form immediately once the pressure within the bottle is reduced, however, it can take a few seconds for them to get large enough for you to notice the fizzing.


Is soda just opened a compound element or mixture?

This is a mixture of carbon dioxide and water.


What effect does changing temperature and pressure have on the rate that carbon dioxide gas comes out of a soda bottle?

Higher temperature will cause the carbonation to escape faster, if the soda is opened. If the soda is not opened, temperature will have no effect but to increase the pressure inside of the container.
