Hot Dr Pepper, for example?
In: Chemistry
In order to make your Dr Pepper fizzy, gaseous CO2 is forced to dissolve into the soda. CO2 doesn’t like to stay dissolved, so it requires a lot of pressure to keep it in there, which is why when you open the bottle you can hear gas escaping and see bubbles rise to the top-that’s CO2 escaping.
When you heat up the soda, you’re causing all the molecules to move around really quickly, so then the CO2 molecules can escape more quickly because they are moving around a lot more. Without CO2, the soda becomes flat
