Question

Hallie tripped over a rock, tumbling down a small but steep hill, she was holding two cans of Sprite (which got tossed during the fall). She picked up the Sprites and continued on, later, she opened the drinks and every drop spewed out onto Hallies clothes and her floor.Explain why this happened/how

Answer 1

Sprite is a carbonated drink. This means that it contains C02 under pressure which gives it a refreshing taste. When the bottle of sprite is shaken, small bubbles are formed. These bubbles make it easier for the dissolved C02 to escape by joining the existing bubbles.
