everyone knows if you shake up a carbonated drink, it explodes.

I have an identical bottle with a pressure gauge fitted to it.

And I want you to make a prediction right here.

If I shake up this bottle, will the pressure increase decrease or remain the same?

Let me tell you, this video is sponsored by squarespace, the all in one platform for building your online presence more about square space at the end of the show.

I hope you have made your prediction and registered it in the pole up here.

This bottle has been sitting stationary for a few days at room temperature.

You can see the pressure reading is about three atmospheres.

And I'm going to shake it up and see what happens.

Ready in 321 And the pressure is still the same.

So it's not an increase in pressure that causes a bottle to explode like that.

So Why is it way shouldn't feel bad If you predicted that the pressure would increase Because in fact, that explanation was published in New Scientist in 1986 leading many other scientists to come forward saying that is not the real explanation.

So we will find out what it is after we explore the second perplexing physics problem.

If you put identical ice cubes in a cup of fresh water and a cup of salt water, which Ice Cube will melt first again, you can register your prediction by answering the pole here.

As you're thinking about that, I want to show you the setup.

Okay, so here I have regular fresh water just gonna fill up each cup.

Then I'm gonna add about a tablespoon of salt into this cup on the right.

If you know a bit about chemistry, you may recognize that adding sodium chloride, toe water actually takes energy, and so it lowers the temperature of this solution by a little bit.

So I've got a thermometer just to check, and I'm gonna let this solution sit here for a while s so that it comes back up to room temperature.

Let's put these ice cubes in in 321 and they're off watching ice cubes melt.

It has only been about a minute, but already I can tell that the ice cube in the fresh water is melting faster than the ice cube in the salt water.

And we put salt on the roads to melt ice faster.

So why isn't this ice Cube melting as fast as the one in fresh water?

But first, let's go to the third perplexing physics problem.

Okay, here I have a metal ring and a closed loop of chain, and I'm going to do this all in one take, so you know that I'm not playing any tricks.

So what I'm gonna do is dangle the chain and then hold the ring over it like so.

And of course, how could anything else possibly happen because, Well, it's a closed loop of chain and a closed ring.

You can get the ring to stick on the chain.

I think we're gonna have to go to some slow mo footage to really see what's going on.

Now I'll let you in on the secret when you want the ring to stick on the chain.

The key is to let it go on one side before the other side's.

I'm gonna let it go with my thumb first, and it'll just sort of slide off my finger.

And by doing that, the ring will stick on the chain.

It introduces just a little bit of rotation so that the ring rotates about 90 degrees and slides down the chain like this as it does These pieces, uh, slide up the sides and when you get to the bottom, it's almost like this.

Peace at the bottom gets sucked into the middle of the ring and then at the last minute, gets pulled round and it snaps on and it's locked on like that.

So that's how you can get a ring locked onto a closed loop of chain.

Why is the ice cube in freshwater melting faster than the one in salt water?

Well, I think we can get a better view of this if I add a little bit of food coloring right on top of the Ice Cube because the water coming off that ice cube is cold.

It's more dense than the surrounding freshwater, and so it descends in the glass.

And that brings Maur warm, fresh water up to meet the ice cube, melting it faster, whereas on the other hand, in the salt water, as the ice cube melts, that fresh water is actually less dense than the salt water around it.

And so it stays That cold water that just melted off the ice cube stays around the ice cube, in effect insulating it from the warmer salt water around it.

Okay, that seems like a very plausible explanation and maybe a convincing demonstration.

I decided that, you know, maybe this wasn't the best way to explain this because, well, you're just dropping food coloring in there.

And maybe food coloring would just float on the surface of saltwater anyway and sink in fresh water.

So a better demonstration, I thought, might be way.

Okay, I know there's a lot of food coloring in there, and that makes things kind of hard to see.

But I think you can clearly see the current of cold water streaming down to the bottom of the cup in the freshwater side and not in the salt water side.

So I think this does clearly show what ever saying that cool water that comes off the Ice Cube doesn't go down deep into the cup Over here, you can see that's what's happened.

So why do shaken carbonated drinks explode?

First, let's explain why the pressure doesn't increase in the headspace when you shake it up.

You know when you pick up a bottle of soda in the grocery store, it's been sitting there for a few days.

So the dissolved gas, the dissolved CO two in the liquid is it equilibrium with the gas up here in the headspace?

And that equilibrium on Lee depends on the temperature and the pressure of gas in the headspace.

So no amount of shaking is gonna change the pressure up here for most soda bottles these days, that pressure is about three atmospheres.

Now you can actually hear those three atmospheres of pressure get released when I open the bottle.

But of course that's not messy because it's just gas coming at the top.

There's no liquid, but now the liquid is no longer in equilibrium.

I mean, it used to be under three atmospheres of pressure, and now it's just under one atmosphere, ambient pressure.

And so because of that, there is more dissolved CO two in this liquid then would be at equilibrium at this pressure.

And so the co two starts to come out of solution and, well, those of the bubbles that you taste.

That's why this drink is busy non equilibrium beverage.

And if you leave it open, those bubbles will keep coming out until the whole drink goes flat.

Now, I'm gonna put the pressure gauge on top of this bottle so we can actually see the CO two coming out of solution and increasing the pressure right here.

And if I left this bottle alone for long enough, the pressure would eventually come back to equilibrium.

But as you can see, it is a very slow process.

And that's because it's actually quite hard for dissolved gas like CO two to spontaneously come out of solution.

One way that I can accelerate this process is by introducing nuclear nation sites into the liquid.

One example of a nuclear nation site is a tiny gas bubble.

So if I shake up the bottle, what I'm actually doing is introducing little nuclear nation sites.

Tiny air bubbles into the liquid, and that makes it easier for the CO two to come out of solution.

And so we'll see this pressure increase much more rapidly.

I'm gonna shake it up in 321 And there you see, the pressure has quite quickly come back to about three atmospheres.
