How Do Shaking and Heating Affect a Carbonated Beverage?
Procedure
Remove the cap from a plastic bottle of carbonated beverage (a solution of carbon dioxide in water). Observe what happens.
Fit a balloon tightly over the top of the bottle. Holding the bottle over a sink, shake it several times from side to side. Observe any changes in the balloon and the liquid.
Place the bottle in a bucket of hot water. Observe any further changes in the balloon.
Think About It
Observing What happened when you removed the cap from the bottle?
Inferring What caused the balloon to expand?
Drawing Conclusions How did shaking affect the rate of the change in the beverage?
Applying Concepts How would storing a carbonated beverage in a refrigerator affect what happens when the cap is removed?
