Ok, so I have a closed bottle of cola, i shake it, why when I open it does it fizz up, whereas if I don't shake it it all stays relatively unfizzed?

Carbonic acid (CO2 + H2O) is very unstable. Shaking in is enough to separate it into Carbon Dioxide (C02) and water (H2O). The CO2 gas forms bubbles or 'fizz'.

Because of the carbonation.

"cabonation" means they have carbon dioxide gas disolved in them. When shaken, the gas escapes from the liquid and forms bubbles.

Because whern the carbon is exposed to air it turns to gas, but it cant until you open it because it cant realease the air.

Because they're fizzy.
