Put salt into Coca and the unexpected ending

Have you ever experimented with dropping salt into Coca? This article will show you the results from the experiment.

The YouTube account called CrazyRussianHacker has posted a video recording a unique experiment that drops salt into a Coca Cola bottle to track the reaction that occurs when salt combines with substances in this popular beverage.

Previously, this account used to try a lot of weird reactions including experiments mixing Coca with bleach and getting a completely transparent soda mixture.

In the video of experimenting with salt, the Coca bottle proved quite reactive.

The explanation for this phenomenon is very simple: The solubility of gases in liquid solvents is greatly influenced by the presence of other soluble substances in the solution. Carbonated drinks - such as Coca Cola with CO2, are compressed into bottles when produced - if added with salt, in this example, salt with the main ingredient is NaCl, the solubility of CO 2 decreases. Strong because NaCl has better solubility than CO2 in water solvent, CO 2 will be pushed out of the main solvent. If other solvents are used, it will result in salt crystallization of poorer solutes.
