There are around 1.7-2.0 grams of carbon dioxide in a can of Coke, which would produce around 14,500-16,500 bubbles when released. The exact number of bubbles can vary based on factors like temperature and pressure.
Soda or bubbly drinks usually contain carbonation, which creates bubbles.
Heterogeneous mixture
The bubbles are made of carbon dioxide which is injected into the Coke under pressure. When the can is opened, this pressure is released and the bubbles come the surface. When poured into a glass or over ice, the bubbles fizz up which is caused by the sudden action of changing temperature and hitting multiple surcfaces. It looks like steam some times because it is cold and causes condensation to occur. It could also be the small bits of coke flying away from the exploding bubbles.
Sprite loses its fizz faster than Coke because Sprite has larger bubbles which dissipate more quickly. This is due to the differences in carbonation levels and ingredients between the two sodas.
Mentos candy is known to have a reaction with Coke or other carbonated beverages due to the release of carbon dioxide gas when the candy dissolves. This reaction causes a rapid expansion of bubbles, resulting in a fountain-like effect.
