Answer:

Cans of carbonated soft drinks contain carbon dioxide under pressure so that the gas dissolves in the liquid drink. ... It's difficult for the gas to escape from an undisturbed liquid because of the liquid's surface tension, which is the energy required to separate the liquid molecules from one another as a bubble forms.
