At any given temperature and pressure water can hold in solution a certain quantity of carbon dioxide for an indefinite period. If there is too much carbon dioxide the solution is super saturated and the CO2 will have to leave. How fast it leaves depends on how big a surplus there is; with a small surplus it comes out quite slowly, as in a recently poured glass of soda. It also depends on what there is in the water apart from CO2. If the water contains absolutely nothing else it will remain super-saturated. The CO2 needs something, however small, to grab onto in order to come out of solution; these are referred to as condensation nuclei. They can be dust,dirt or pollen; they can also be tiny air bubbles which is why shaking a bottle of soda makes it fizz. Grains of sugar can do it too. Notice that they have to be grains of sugar; although most soda contains a lot of sugar it is in solution rather than in solid particles.

When you add baking soda to vinegar the mixture fizzes as carbon dioxide is produced Suppose you added water to the vinegar before you mixed it with the baking soda what do you think will happen?

It will still fizz, but fizz less the more water is added to the vinegar (acid) solution. Vinegar is already a diluted solution of acetic acid, and is mostly water.

Does sugar affect the amount of fizz in a soda bottle?

Yes, sugar can affect the amount of fizz in a soda bottle. When sugar is added to a soda, it provides more dissolved particles in the liquid, which can increase the amount of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved. This can lead to more fizz when the soda is opened, as the excess carbon dioxide is released as bubbles. However, the exact impact of sugar on fizz can depend on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and the specific formulation of the soda.
