I know Google is my friend


Was just curious before I search if the OT thinks carbonation lowers seltzer water freezing temps

I almost left some in my truck the other days and was thinking I would have explosion like soda can in freezer

For a full bottle/can under pressure the liquid freezes at a lower volume than when warm, limiting the area for the gases to move, the gases expand causes expansion if I’m guessing correctly.

But I don’t think it changes freezing levels

seltzer water can't freeze steel beams at those temperatures.

Anytime you add something to water in solution, it will likely change the freezing and boiling point. So salt, for instance, lowers the freezing point of water. I expect dissolved carbon dioxide will lower it even more than salt but not certain.

Coke cans don't explode because of the expansion of gas, it's because the expansion of the contents when they expand from liquid to solid.

If it was plain canned water, same result.
