Building Up The Fizz In Soda
Building Up The Fizz In Soda

Problem Statement
What is the effect of pressure on carbonation in soda?

Hypothesis
It is hypothesized that if you use big ice cubes then, more fizz will form.
Abstract
The problem was do ice cubes effect the pressure on carbonation in soda?
It was hypothesized that if you use bigger ice cubes, then more fizz will form in the soda.
The procedures followed was to rinse five ice cubes in cold water and put them all together so they are close and touching, more so that they could freeze into a clump. I had to do the same with a group of 4, 3, and 2 ice cubes. And put aside a single ice cube on a fifth plate. Then fill the glass 3-1/4 full with soda. Then I had to stand around and wait until the fizz die down, moreover drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. I had to make sure to drop it from the same level as the surface of the glass. Record and repeat. It was concluded that the size of the ice cube didn’t determine the amount of fizz that can build up in soda because the ice is only pressure to the soda which exposes the carbonation in soda. I noticed while doing the experiment the soda had more fizz without the pressure of ice cubes and with the ice cubes instead of the fizz building up in soda it caused the fizz to die down. So therefore, the results of the experiment did not support the hypothesis.
Procedures
Rinse five ice cubes in cold water for a second or two
Cluster them together on a plate so they are all touching and place a plate in the freezer. They will freeze into a clump
Do the same with a group of four, three, and two ice cubes. Set a single ice cube aside on the fifth plate
Fill the glass three-quarters full with sod. Screw the top back on the soda tightly when finished
Wait until the fizz on the top of the soda has died down
Drop one of the ice cubes into the cup and time how long it takes for the fizz to die down. Make sure to drop it from the same level as the

    The fastest way to cool a soda deals a lot with heat transfer. Heat is a measure of the average molecular motion of matter and can be transferred from one piece of matter to another in four different ways which are conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. (Tania Dakka) In the experiment the different levels of the independent variable include a cooler with ice, another with ice and water, one with water ice and salt, the refrigerator, and the freezer. Prior research has been done on this subject by Andrew Olson who has a Ph. D and tested with the refrigerator and freezer. From earlier researchers, facts show that in both the freezer and refrigerator, cold air is removing heat from the room-temperature soda can by convection. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which results in transfer of heat. (Weather Questions) In this experiment, when immersing a can of soda in a cold liquid, it is okay to expect that a much greater number of molecular interactions would result and data would show whether the soda will cool off faster. In the experiment the dependent variable is the the temperature of the soda over different periods of time. We plan on taking the temperature (C ) of the soda in each of the different independent variables after 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes. Also, the salt in the salt water, lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing the ice in the ice bath to melt while still retaining its temperature.(Education) This makes the chilly water in the ice bath even colder. By conducting the experiment the heat should transfer from the soda to one of the levels of the independent variable and the data should help support convection in hope to learn which one is the fastest way to cool the soda.…

    In conclusion, the fastest way to cool a soda was the soda in the freezer at -2 degrees Celsius. The other methods did not make the soda as cold and as fast as the freezer. The refrigerator soda dropped to 13 degrees Celsius, the ice cubes dropped to 2 degrees Celsius, and the ice bath dropped to 4 degrees in an hour. Overall, it can be concluded that if one wants a cooled soda at a fast rate, the freezer would be the best method to use.…

    After conducting my experiment, the results have led me to the conclusion that the ice water cooled the soda the fastest. This happened because the melting ice uses energy. Though water that is in the process of freezing gives off energy, melting ice cubes absorb energy. This means that when the ice is melting, it is absorbing energy from the soda, therefore causing it to lose energy and make its molecules slow down and freeze. This is why the soda cooled the fastest in the ice water; its energy was decreasing. In the refrigerator, the soda was just sitting in cold air. The same thing happened with the freezer. In the bucket of ice, nothing was making the ice melt quickly so it wasn’t using a lot of energy. This is why the ice water cooled…

    The main fact people need to know in order to understand “What is the Fastest Way to Cool a Soda?” is that placing objects in ice-as well as freezers and refrigerators-makes them colder. How does the object become cooler by being placed in ice? When you add ice to a warm drink, some of the drinks’ thermal energy is transferred to the ice (that is why the ice will melt in the drink) which makes the drink cooler. To thoroughly comprehend the project, more research and knowledge is required. There are three processes by which heat energy can be transferred from one place to another: convection, conduction, and radiation. Heat can also be transferred by evaporation and radiation-which is when heat is carried directly by electromagnetic waves, or light. Those are just the basic methods of heat…

    First 10 minutes all the liquids are still not frozen. Second 10 minutes all of the liquids are starting to freeze around the edges. Third 10 minutes water is almost completely ice on the surface, Sprite is half ice on the surface and Mello Yello, Orange Fanta, Coca Cola are still just ice around the edges. Fourth 10 minutes water is almost fully frozen, Sprite is not quite completely frozen on the top, Coca Cola, Mello Yello, Orange Fanta are all slushy. Fifth 10 minutes water is really close to being completely frozen, Mello Yello, Coca Cola, Orange Fanta, and Sprite are all still slushy at the top. Sixth 10 minutes water is completely except a little bit in the middle, the other liquids were still not quite frozen.

    When you open a carbonated beverage's container, such as a soda can or bottle, you may hear a hissing sound from the opening as you do so. That is the sound of the carbon dioxide gas escaping from the sealed container through the new opening. When this happens, the process of the beverage losing its so-called "fizz" has already begun. However, there are several solutions to this issue. This problem stems from the loss of carbon dioxide gas within the beverage through the opening in the container, so we must find a way to halt that escape of gas.…
