the chemical reactions between the the dairy product in the ice-cream and the fiss in the root beer!
Root Beer and Dr Pepper float when placed in water because they are less dense than water. The carbonation in these drinks creates bubbles, increasing buoyancy and causing them to float. Additionally, the sugars and other ingredients in the drinks contribute to their overall density, making them less dense than water.
A root beer float is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one. When root beer is combined with ice cream, the two ingredients mix but do not undergo any chemical change; they retain their original properties. The fizzing and bubbling that occurs is a result of the carbonation in the root beer, which is a physical process as gas escapes. Overall, the combination is a delightful mixture of flavors and textures without any new substances being formed.
Root beer is typically more dense than water because it contains dissolved sugars, flavorings and carbon dioxide. This higher density causes objects to float higher in root beer compared to water.
A can of Mug Root Beer typically contains around 45mg of potassium.
There should be minimal to no carbon dioxide in root beer when it is properly sealed and stored. Any bubbles or carbonation present in root beer are typically a result of the carbonation added during the production process.

No, there is no alcohol in a root beer float.
No, but a tin can.
A root beer float has vanilla ice cream in it. Root beer itself does not contain vanilla.

Of course!
Depends, the drink itself is a chemical reaction, the CO2 bubbles. But the icecream and that is a physical reaction. Anything that changes state is a physical reaction.

a root beer float
Root beer with ice cream is called a Root Beer Float. I don't think there is a specific name if the ice cream is chocolate.
