as it solidifies when freezing it expands, so gets too big for the can, and then eventually explodes.

1.as it solidifies when freezing it expands, so gets too big for the can, and then eventually explodes.



2. the gas pressure in the bottle is too strong (probably cos you shook the bottle a lot or something)

Answer 5

you cant solidify a carbonated drink without it exploding.

Try something soft like cordial [squash], fruit juice or water.

Answer 6

1. the gas pressure in the bottle is too strong (probably cos you shook the bottle a lot or something)

or 2. as the liquid in the bottle soildifies, it takes up more space in the bottle and the bottle can no longer withstand it.

Answer 7

Water is one of the only, if not the only, things that expand when frozen. If you stick a regular unopened water bottle in the freezer you will get the same effect but on a much smaller scale. Since soda have carbonated gas in it then when it bursts it really makes a much bigger mess. Since it still is not 100% frozen at that point the release of the gas inside sprays the still liquid and semi frozen soda all over the place.
