Why is it that when you drop a bottle of soda, opening it causes it to spray out? Isn’t the same amount of pressure in the bottle regardless?

Question

I’m on my way to work and this just happened to me and I can’t make sense of it seeing as the same amount of energy should be in the bottle if it is sealed right? ELI5

Answer 1

A resting bottle of soda will onlu have tiny bubbles of air rest of air at the top. Hence when opened only air rushes out. A shaken bottle of soda will have some of the air in a mixture with the liquid. when you open the bottle the sudden reduction in presure the larger bubbles of air in the liquid escape from the liquid slower than they expand so you end up with a liquid/air spraying everwhere
