Solubility - Why does soda fizz when you shake it?

Explore the science of solubility and the fizzy reaction in shaken soda

Solubility is the property of a substance to dissolve in another substance, such as a solute dissolving in a solvent. When you shake a soda can, you introduce kinetic energy to the liquid, causing carbon dioxide gas molecules (dissolved in the soda) to escape and form bubbles. These bubbles rise to the surface, creating the fizzing effect. Understanding solubility and the factors that influence it, like temperature and pressure, is essential for various applications in chemistry and the food and beverage industry.
