The answer is out! How long do you have to wait for a shaken soda to stop the water from spurting out when you open it!!!
Why does soda shoot up when shaken?
Carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas dissolved in water, which gives them the fizz they’re known for. But when shaken, the gas bubbles disperse into tiny bubbles throughout the liquid. Normally, the gas sits still in water, but when shaken, the hidden bubbles become trapped in the แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ liquid. When the cap is opened, the air pressure immediately drops, causing the bubbles to expand and push the carbonated water out.
How many minutes do I have to wait before it’s safe?
1. If shaken gently or the bottle is just slightly bumped
Wait for about 2-3 minutes, the bubbles will gradually gather and float to the top. When the lid is opened, the pressure will gradually decrease, reducing the chance of water spurting.
2. If you accidentally shake it hard or the bottle falls hard on the floor
Wait about 5-10 minutes to allow the gas to slowly calm down. If you open it too quickly, get ready to wipe off the soda!
3. If you shake it too hard (or if your friends prank you)
Wait 15 minutes or more. Bottles that are shaken hard need more time for the bubbles to form and float to the top. If you are impatient and open it first, the bubbles that are scattered throughout the liquid will definitely push the water out without any fibers!
How to speed up the quenching of gas
- If you don’t want to wait too long, try using this technique to reduce bubbles.
- Tap the bottle gently – Tap the side or bottom of the bottle to help the bubbles gather and float to the top.
- Slowly rotate the bottle in circles – this allows the bubbles to slowly move upwards without increasing pressure.
Open the cap by twisting it off gradually – allowing the gas to escape slowly rather than letting it all come out at once.
