Two Questions about Soda/Pop and their chemistry

Featured Replies

Recently, I have developed an interest in soda pop and it's use for... entertainment purposed. I have two questions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1: If I shook up a can of, say, Pepsi One, and threw it off a stairwell reaching down five stories, what will the radius of the explosion be?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2: Just now, I had the greatest idea. I took Welch's grape juice and Fresca and mixed them in a jumbo cup. Then I added sugar, a spoonfull. To my amazement, the mixture first fizzled and then, the top foam turned blue. It dropped blue liquid off the side of the cub, then fizzled down to a still position.

...The first question is possibly the stupidest we've seen in the forum... every time would be different, it may not explode just ugh I can't believe you asked that. The second question ISNT EVEN A QUESTION! That's just a statement...

The second question is Why.

the sugar crystals make it easier for CO2 gas to form

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the blue stuff is the natural/artificial? coloring of the grape juice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my question to you is: why?

  • Author

Because, I think that cans of carbonated beverages are fun.

Why don't you try the number one by yourself? :wink:

Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.

You might know that vinegar and baking soda react to form CO2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put vinegar and baking soda into a bottle, put the cap on, and run.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you used enough stuff, and the right proportions, the CO2 will build up until there's enough pressure to blow of the cap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've never seen this done before, but I've heard that it works. Just be careful.

Playing off and on since July 2001

Do something usefull that doesn't leave a big mess. And don't ask dumb questions like the first one.

I think a dry ice bomb would work a bit better

drano bomb would work good, and the ingreadients are more easily found in grocery stores
