Why does water freeze faster then soda?

Answer 1

Because more of the cans surface area is covered by the water. So more of the soda is "exposed" to cold water that individual blocks of ice that don't cover the outside of the can completely.

Answer 2

Water freezes faster than soda because pure water has a simpler chemical composition and lacks the dissolved sugars, acids, and other components present in soda. These additional components in soda create a more complex mixture that requires more time and energy to reach the same freezing temperature as pure water.

Answer 3

Tried this for 10 year olds science fair, poured equal amounts of root beer soda and water in plastic cups, soda froze 15 to 30 minutes faster on 4 different tries, maybe carbonation makes soda less dense therefore less liquid per volume.

Answer 4

water has a freezing point of 0ºC. Soda is made up of different substances that make it have a much lower freezing point, which is why it is quicker to freeze ice cubes rather than soda ice cubes

Answer 5

because soda is carbonated and carbonation creates energy so if water doesn't have carbonation it doesn't have energy and energy makes liquids go slow:)

Answer 6

soda has bubbles, which hold warmer air than the temperature you are freezing it at.

Answer 7

because soda(s) contain carbonation, which hold warm air in them therefore lowering the freezing temperature.

Answer 8

Sprite has different ingredients that are more of a non acid thing, like sugar.

Answer 9

There's less sugar in milk. The sugar in soda acts as antifreeze.
