He opened the bottle and the “frozen beer” immediately gushed out of the bottle. He placed his mouth onto the opening, sucking the gushing beer in an attempt to stop the gushes. He could not succeed! The bar lady gave him a beer glass into which he then poured the beer. . ‘Mr Bikita then took a sip from the glass but the taste was not as he expected! After awhile the taste of the beer improved. As he was about to finish his beer the taste was even worse than at the beginning! (a) __ Explain why the “frozen beer” gushed out of the bottle as soon as the bottle was opened.
