why is it that coke fizzes more when you put the ice in before the coke rather than after?

Answer 1

When you creat carbonated drinks, like coke the method used is to put in carbon dioxide under a really high pressure. When you break the seal on a bottle or can you immediatley release that pressure, which causes the carbon dioxide to seperate from the liquid as bubbles.

When you add ice the temperature further lowers the pressure in the liquid, increasing the conversion process creating more bubbles.

Answer 2

Carbonated drinks are made using a method that puts in carbon dioxide under high pressure. The reaction caused by opening the container releases the bubbles created by the carbon dioxide. When you add the carbonated beverage, coke or others, to ice it creates a chemical reaction causing the added bubbles. If you add the ice after pouring the beverage the action of pouring the beverage has decreased the carbon dioxide, therefore the reaction to the ice is less.

Answer 3

i think it's because when you put the ice in first then pour the coke in it changes temperature of the coke as it hits off the ice and causes the fizz. though when you already have the coke in the glass the ice isn't enough to change it as much as before!!

Answer 4

The coke particles are more disturbed when being poured then when they are left to settle so when they come into contact with the ice which dramatically tries to change its temprature, the gases in the coke become aggitated and react to it, whereas if the coke was left to settle and the Ice added in, the coke particles won't be too bothered.

Answer 5

Its just because when you first put the coke in, a lot of gas is released anyway. If you then add ice, that gas has already been lost, so less bubbles. Put the ice in first, all the gas comes out together, so it looks more.

Answer 6

It isn’t impurities in the glass - that’s for bubbles in STILL WATER. The bubbles in coke are caused by carbon dioxide (hence carbonised drinks) and they bubble more furiously when u add ice because of there reaction between the oxygen in the ice and carbon dioxide in the drink.

Answer 7

because more of the ice comes into contact with the coke this way around
pepsimax is better anyway

Answer 8

Carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid. Cold liquids can hold more dissolved gases than warm ones.

Answer 9

maybe the coke particles don't like the cold
normaly they should be more active in heat

Answer 10

a drop of whiskey does the trick,the ice does the the riverdance for u and the birds sing..soz its a **** question
