It's not a reaction, it's what happens when you have a build up of pressure. In a carbonated drink like soda the carbon dioxide is dissolved in the water under pressure. If the pressure is released then you see bubbles. If the dissolve gas particles are given enough energy to become gas they can increase the pressure enough to blow a cork out.
Here's an analogy that might help:
Imagine you are on a plane. Every seat is taken and no more people can get on board. The plane is sealed up. The people are the dissolved gas particles. They stay in their seats and none can 'escape'. At the airport a door is opened and people start to get off. It's a controlled release and once outside they all wander off in different directions. Eventually the plane will empty - or the drink become flat.
If, however, at some point during the exiting someone blocks the end of the stairway, then you'll have some 'escaped' people, some people still in the plane (dissolved) and some on the steps, neither escaped or dissolved. These are the carbon dioxide particles that are stuck in the gas space above the drink in the bottle. The people on the stairs stop anyone else in the plane from getting out - so the drink is still fizzy.
If you give the people a really strong desire to leave the plane, like a fire alarm, then they will leave by any exit possible, like an emergency exit. If the only available exit is the blocked stairway then they'll rush at it and push past as hard as possible. Like our energised bubbles pushing past the cork.
What else can I help you with?
If you put a cork into the neck of a bottle filled with airwhat happens to the pressure inside the bottle?
The cork over the bottle's neck is going too be pushed by how much air is in the bottle.
bottle is to cork as jar is to?
Bottle is to cork - as jar is to LID.
What gas causes a champaghne cork to pop?
The release of carbon dioxide gas that is trapped in the bottle under pressure causes a champagne cork to pop. When the cork is removed, the gas quickly expands, creating the popping sound.
When you move the bottle at a constant speed why does the cork quickly swing backward after it moves in the direction of acceleration?
When the bottle is moving at a constant speed, the cork inside the bottle is also moving at that speed. When the bottle accelerates, the cork tends to resist this change in motion due to inertia, causing it to swing backward momentarily before adjusting to the new speed. This swing is a reaction to the sudden change in motion experienced by the cork.
What is cork in a bottle?
It's a cork.
Where do you get cork for bottle corks?
Cork for bottles is made from cork trees.
What would happen to a bottle with a cork when heated up?
Because the air inside the bottle push out the wooden cork.
What is the fermentation that causes the champagne cork to pop?
Carbon dioxide is produced from yeast. This carbon dioxide causes champagne to bubble and the cork to pop.
What prevents the gas from escaping from a bottle with cork?
The cork
A glass bottle?
A cork?
What causes a champaign cork to become tapered?
Champagne corks are shaped like that due to the extreme pressure in a champagne bottle...the shape helps ensure that the cork will not fly out under the carbonation.
Why does a thin glass bottle filled with fluid break when the cork is pushed down?
The pressure build up is too much for the thin glass to handle.
