What cause a warm bottle of carbonated drink to “explode” when placed in a freeze overnight???

When you freeze water it expands, which increases it's volume. With a closed bottle, the pressure gives the expanding water no where to go, therefore the bottle must expand with the water, making it explode.

One word answer: agitation\n\ncoke and other drinks are "areated" with carbon dioxide under pressure. carbon dioxide does not like stay dissolved in water and bubbles out, causing the fizz effect in sodas.\n\nnow for the carbon dioxide to bubble out, it needs energy. this energy can be supplied by :\n\n* heat : this is the reason why warm coke is less fizzier than cold coke. the carbon dioxide has already bubbled out\n\n* agitation : shaking a bottle of cola, supplies the carbon dioxide enough energy to fizz out. so does pouring coca cola over ice. if you put ice in coke though, you are doing it gently. you would see a lot of fizzing of you threw you ice in with a lot of force \n\nwhen you vend onto ice at mcdonalds, the cola touches ice straight away and has energy taken away from it and hence fizzes less.\n\nhope that clears things up for you :)

So anti-freeze and salt causes a freezing point depression in the water which means as you add solvent such as salt the freezing point is lowered (hence when you add salt to your windshield the ice melts).  There is a simple mathematic equation that will relate the change of Temp freezing to the amout of solvent added.  (ΔTf = Kfcm).  Kf is the freezing point constant of the solvent and cm is the molal concentration of the solvent. So as you can see from the equation the ΔTf will be greater as you increase cm so the effects of adding a solvent will depend on how much solvent you add.  \n\nSo a simple experiment would be to add increasing amounts of salt and antifreeze to constant volumes of water and determine the freezing temperatures of each one.  You should also want to calculate the molal concentration of each one and try to determine before hand what the freezing points should be (hypothesis).

Any closed container of liquid will explode if left in the freezer too long. The liqued will expand, increasing pressure on the container until it rips open spreading liqid over everything

The 1st and 3rd answerers above me have correctly identified the mistake in the question itself. Anyway, the answer is found in school science books and it is the density (mass per unit volume) of the ice is less than the density of water of given volume.\n\nTherefore, you would also see that if a glass bottle is filled with water and allowed to get cooled inside the freezer, the bottle will crack when the inside water is turned into ice. This is because the volume of the ice increased and there were not space to accommodate "extra volume" created when ice was formed.\n\nNice learning!

Its a freeze spray...how about doing some research and looking at previous asked questions first.

The fizz is a bunch of bubbles but they dont "explode" because of the static electricity in the hand. When the soda is made, you basically have a shit-load of carbonic acid in it. Carbonic acid is a fairly unstable substace. If you give it any reason, it will conver to carbon dioxide and water. so to keep it the carbonic acid form, the producers put a lot of preassure in the can. As soon as the can is opened a lot of the carbonic acid gets turned into carbon dioxide because you get rid of this preassure. This is evedent becasue you see the bubbles being formed when opening pop. All of the acid is not turned into CO2 though. Some of it get transformed due to the heat in the mouth (this is your fizz). if you stick a finger while pouring the drink, you are heating the pop thus creating the carbondioxide before it actually reaches your mouth. As a result you get to feel less amount of the fizz.

It'll cost you 2 balloons and 2 sodas to find out.\n\nSolubility almost always increases with temperature, but this rule doesn't work with most gases. In fact, in the case of carbon dioxide, it decreases. The bubbling that you see when you open a bottle is not an effect of the bottle warming to room temperature, though. Increased pressure also increases the solubility and this pressure is released upon removing the cap.

Cold liquids dissolve gases better than warm ones. When you heat the bottle the temp. of the drink drops and the dissolved gases escape. But stay inside the bottle. Further heating cuaseas them to expand resulting in greater kinetic energy of molecules resulting in the bursting of the botle.

It would take exactly the same amount of time, once frozen there is little difference, between orange soda, and water. The sugar and CO2 in the soda, doesn't effect the time it takes for the frozen soda to melt, I have tried this in the lab, and the difference in the melt time is negligible. If you don't believe me, you will just have to do this experiment yourself.

Same reason a water bottle will crack(water expands when frozen), the only difference is the carbonated drinks aren't completely frozen so it leaks everywhere.

It might be hard to sue the manufacturer because how do you know that they were at fault...it could be the store's error.  What if the store forgot to refrigerate it (if frozen or refrigerated), delivery company might have caused the problem, etc.  You would have  to be able to trace who was really at fault for the "tainted" lemonade before suing or it would get thrown out before it ever got anywhere.

Hey.. if you throw a can of soda, does it explode?

the change back to room temp. with the alcohol  in the mix is what causes it. I used to own a bar and I would keep the coolers at about 28 degrees  the beer wouldnt be froze till you took it out and opened it  then it would freeze right in front of the customer,,,,,, they just loved it  ,,,,, they knew they were getting the coldest beer in town.!!!!!!\n\nS

I discussed this experiment with some of my colleagues and we think that the CO2 (carbon dioxide) causes a stirring effect which distributes the temperature more evenly in the soda. The ice cubes serve as nucleation sites for the bubbles (a place for bubbles to grow). As the bubbles grow and then release they cause the ice cubes to circulate in the liquid. This circulation causes the warmer layer below the ice to mix with the colder upper layer of soda and ice. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink a liquid that the liquid at at the bottom of the cup is warm and requires a stir to evenly distibute the cooling? The "still" beverages (water and tea have no bubbles) will have a cold layer on top next to the ice and a warmer layer on the bottom. This would cause the ice to melt slower.\n\nHere is an experiment to try. Allow some soda to get flat overnite, then try the experiment again.\n\nKeep in mind that temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, whereas heat is the total energy of all the particles. The air and water may have particles moving the same speeds, but the water has more heat because there are more particles. \n\nPicture it this way. The ice melts as fast moving particles slam into the slow moving ice particles. As in any collision, some of the energy is transferred to the ice particle, and with its new energy it can break out of the crystal and flow as a liquid water molecule. \n\nTo make the ice melt faster, you can use hotter (faster moving) particles to slam into it. This is why the ice melts faster on a hot day than a cold one. Alternatively, you can just use more collisions. The water is much more dense than the air, with many more particles per cubic millimeter. Thus even though the water molecules have the same kinetic energy as the air particles, there are many more of them hitting the ice each second, and the ice melts faster.

In a bottle of softdrink carbonic gas is filled under pressure. So you get the bubbles when you open it. The pressure decreases in the bottle when you open it and so the volume increases.\nIt's due to Volume to Pressure's Inverse Proportionality.

First of all, there cannot be a vacuum inside a bottle of Coke.  Coke is largely water with CO2 gas dissoved in it, under pressure.  If you were to try to make a vacuum inside, the CO2 would simply bubble out, until the soda became "flat."  If a sealed bottle of Coke is heated up, the pressure inside rises.  That's because the solubility of gases in water decreases with increasing temp.  More of the CO2 is forced out of solution, which increases the pressure inside the bottle.  If it gets hot enough, the cap could blow off, or the bottle could explode.  If you heat it up, and it doesn't blow up, then cool it back down, it will be unchanged.  As for whether the Coke will still taste OK, it will, unless it's subjected to high temperature long enough to cause the kola flavoring to decompose.  That would take a long time.
