Legolover64 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second question ISNT EVEN A QUESTION! That's just a statement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover64 Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 The second question is Why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBiffo Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover64 Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 Because, I think that cans of carbonated beverages are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernHero Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal_Master Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselt Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Do something usefull that doesn't leave a big mess. And don't ask dumb questions like the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
