Want to know how the soda bottles get fizzed? Why the sound is created when you open it? How it is filled?

Keep reading to know it,

The fizz that bubbles when you open your soda can or bottle is nothing but the carbon dioxide gas (CO2). While manufacturing the softdrinks this tingling froth is get added by forcing the carbon dioxide and water at the high pressures into the soda. This get inserted at a speed up-to 1200 pounds (near about 544 Kgs) per square inch.

The sound you hear when you open the soda can or bottle is millions of carbon dioxide molecules bursting out, which are been added in the drink against their will. A unopened bottle or can is virtually bubble free because the pressure inside keeps the carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid.

When you open it, you release the pressure allowing the gas bubbles to get out from the liquid and rise up to surface. This requires energy because in order for gas to break free from the liquid it has to overcome the force holding the liquid together.

This reason behind happening this is nothing but the atmospheric pressure. Thus, the sound comes when you open it. Other way to input energy, which is done by everyone is to shake the beverage.

So this how the beverages get fizzed.
