Therefore, from my data, I can infer that Sprite is the most gaseous and Coca Cola is the least gaseous.

A typical carbonated soft drink contains approximately 3–4 volumes (6–8 g/L) CO2. Carbonation is usually determined in soft drinks by measuring the pressure in the container at a known temperature.

A can of pop contains 2-3g of CO2 – a tiny proportion of the six tonnes of CO2 per year (or 17kg per day) that the average person in the UK is responsible for. What’s more, the CO2 pumped into carbonated drinks is usually a by-product from power plants – meaning it would have been released into the atmosphere anyway.

You might think the pressure inside the bottle increases when shaken, but it does not.

Because shaking the can introduces lots of small bubbles into the liquid, the dissolved gas can more easily vaporize by joining existing bubbles rather than forming new ones. By avoiding the difficult step of bubble formation, the gas can escape more quickly from shaken soda, thus resulting in more fizz.

Shaking a soda allows it to mix with air molecules trapped in the bottle. These air bubbles are the best possible nuclei for the further growth of bubbles. In other words, if you want to keep your soda from going flat, don’t shake it.

If you shake a can of soda, you end up with tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide gas that stick to the inside surface of the can. If you open the can, the bubbles expand a lot and they push the soda right out with them, causing a “soda explosion.”

Why does Baki shake his soda before drinking it? To get the fizz of the drink out so it’s easier to drink. Basically he wants the easy to use calories from the soda but not the carbonation interfering with his stomach or limiting movement.

Baki is also the half-brother of Jack Hanma. He is known as the “Champion” of the underground arena in Tokyo Dome. In the fourth manga series, he is often called “the World’s Strongest Boy”. Baki ends up losing to Yujiro by a very close margin, when they have a punch-out until one falls.

Some people think tapping the sides or top of the can will break up the bubbles but, according to an article on Chow.com, representatives from both Coke and Pepsi agree that the tapping method does not work. In fact, by adding energy to the system, you stand a chance of generating more bubbles.

It’s based on the fact that along with the change to aluminum cans, there was also a change to very little airspace at the top of a can. Thus, after 20 secs, even a vigorously shaken can will calm down. Here’s the trick, paraphrased: 1.

Yes. As the carbonated beverage cools, more gas is dissolved, and the pressure of CO2 gas in the bottle decreases. When ice crystals form, the CO2 is no longer soluble, and the pressure of the CO2 gas in the bottle increases.

If by chance you just “happened” to catch someone else shaking it and you “rescued” the drink and want to drink it yourself after the drink has calmed down, then I would suggest you wait a minimum of 15 minutes or so before you open it.

It’s actually quite easy to open a soda can without a tab. This is because the indented tab area is still there, so all that you have to do is apply pressure to it. Instead of forcing it open with the edge of a tab, just force it open with the handle of a spoon or fork.

Place the can on a towel on a table. Press down with your palm near the meaty part of the thumb on the opening of the can, leaving the tab visible. With the other hand gently pull up on the tab while providing a seal on the can opening with your palm. The seal should break without much noise.
