why does coke explode?

The Climate.Pressure increases if temperature increases and volume stays the same. This is because the molecules are moving faster and colliding harder with the sides of the container. The greater the mass of air in the container, the greater the number of molecules in the container and the higher its density. The air molecules in the container collide against the sides of the container, so the more of them there are colliding against sides of the container the greater the overall force on the sides of the container. If the temperature is high enough the moisture is vapor or steam and if the moisture doesn't condense on the sides of the container then the moisture molecules are also colliding with the side of the container. On the other hand, if the air in the container is cool enough that the moisture does condense then the moisture is no longer exerting outward force on the container (or at least there's much less of it still moving around as vapor and colliding with the sides of the container).\n\nWhen you're talking about a body of water with gas (carbon dioxide) and sugar in it, like Coke, if the bottle is still closed then you have a volume of air above the soda that exerts enough force on the soda to prevent the gas from coming out of the soda at all until you open the bottle. Once the bottle is open, think about surface tension. That's the reason the carbon dioxide is released slowly when you open the bottle. If you disrupt the surface tension the gas can release all at once.

Hey.. if you throw a can of soda, does it explode?

If you meant,  "How are a soft drink and magma  alike?" it goes like this.  In magma there are a lot of compressed gasses of  various  kinds, including carbon dioxide, the compressed gas in soft drinks.  When the magma is very deep in the earth, the gasses are powerfully compressed and the bubbles remain very small. But  as the magma rises to the surface of the earth, the pressure decreases and the  bubbles become larger.  This is something  like popping the top on a can of warm soda after shaking it up real hard.  The soda kind of explodes from the expanding carbon dioxide bubbles getting very large, very fast.  The same  thing happens with the compressed gasses in erupting magma.  They  help cause the magma to explode up into the air.  Other compressed gasses in magma include hydrogen sulfide and sulfer dioxide.

in space, it is a vaccum.  and on earth, the air pressure keeps your body intact.  there is a lot of pressure coming down upon your body and your body's pressure outward is kept at an equillibrium.  thus preventing you from exploding or imploding, unless you get too deep in the ocean you would implode from the excessive pressure from the water.\n\nin space, a vaccum, there isn't external pressure pushing against the pressure exerted by your body outwards hence causing you to explode.  once you have exploded... if you are far enough from any heat source, you will freeze.  if you are close enough to a heat source you will burn up.\n\nyou can test this vaccum idea by getting a plastic bottle and covering the opening with your mouth.  if you suck and suck really hard the air is removed, hence the bottle will become closer to a vaccum and the outside pressure will crush the less pressured bottle.  but if your tongue or lips are at the tip of the opening, it will hurt b/c that is the pressure from your body pushing outwards towards a less pressured area trying to obtain equilibrium.

Well it speeds up the heart. When persons die from cocaine use it is usually because their heart gives out because it has been overworked for so long.

According to the following website, it depends on the form of cocaine being produced, and looks like some really nasty chemicals are involved (sulfuric acid, kerosene, benzene, ammonia, etc...). Yuck.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine

Hmmm......\n\nI don't know. I assume things can explode, as long as the essential ingrediants are stored within the object exploding..\n\nHowever, it may be more of an implosion. \n\nSo, yes, no, maybe. Give me my 10 points.

The can and the air inside it expand. The can doesnt expand much, but the air does and a bunch of it flows out. When the can is placed in the cold water the can contracts really quickly and because there is less air pushing back on the walls it crunches up. There is nothing really big happening chemically.

Yes, my son has done it numerous times.  He has discovered that you get better results with diet coke instead of diet pepsi.  I think there is more carbonation in the diet coke.  However, it does not explode, it creates a geyser that shoots anywhere from 3 to 20 feet into the air.

It can collapse if the walls get wet then slump down or if the supports fail.  I think explosions occur when there is gas found.

They don't explode if you use them while pumping gas, that's just an urban legend.  \n\nWell, at least in this country.  In some Asian countries cell phones have been known to spontaneously explode when people used the wrong kind of batteries in them and charged them from a wall socket.  But this can happen with any kind of battery, not just cell phone batteries.

The gas is turned into liquid by compressing it and well mixed up with water. When we shake the soda it turns back to gas and hence needs more room than it has.

That is what heavy coke use does..

Because the bottle is not really empty, it is filled with air.  The air expands when it is heated because the molecules move faster, bump against each other, and require more space.

Crack and cocaine users have died from overdose. High doses can raise the body's temperature, cause convulsions and respiratory arrest. Risk of overdosing increases if crack is mixed with heroin, barbiturates or alcohol.\nCocaine is bad news for anybody with high blood pressure or a heart condition. Perfectly fit, young people can have a fit or heart attack after taking too much coke. \nThose who get into coke often find they begin to crave it more and more. \nUsing it a lot makes people feel depressed and run down.\nToo much sniffing coke and you're sneezing lumps out of your nose into a hanky. \nPeople who use crack or coke regularly often develop serious problems with anxiety and paranoia. It's a known cause of panic attacks. \nBecause the effects wear off so quickly, cocaine and crack are expensive drugs. A cocaine habit can seriously damage your wallet. \nVery large doses can cause death from heart or respiratory problems. You may not know you have a pre-existing heart condition.\nLarge or frequent use of coke tends to knock sexual desire on the head.\nIf there have been previous mental health problems coke could bring those problems to the surface again. If a close relative has had mental health problems there might also be an increased risk in some users.\nInjecting any drug can cause vein damage, ulcers and gangrene. Dirty or shared needles and other injecting works can help the spread of HIV and hepatitis.\nIt's easier to overdose injecting. Cocaine is a local anaesthetic and it deadens pain at the injection site. This makes it harder for injectors to notice the damage they may be doing. \nUsing alcohol and cocaine together can be deadly.\nInjecting a mixture of cocaine and heroin, known as a 'Speedball' is one of the most dangerous cocktails you can put in a human body. It is also potentially deadly.\nTaking coke when you're pregnant can damage your baby. Coke causes miscarriage, premature labour and smaller babies and may cause congenital abnormalities. Babies born to mothers who keep using throughout their pregnancy show withdrawal syndrome.

Take a two liter coke bottle.  Fill it up 3/4 with water.  Add dry ice.  Close the cap and wait for it to explode.  Its great.\n\n\nIf you don't have dry ice, put mentos is a coke bottle that actually has coke in it.

Depending on the damage it could be the pressure isn't being released.  This can lead to a big explosion if it exceeds the pressure limits for the cooker.
