What type of gas is released when you open up a soda bottle?!
How can you tell the difference between soda and water without smelling or tasting them?

CO2 ... carbon dioxide
Typically carbon dioxide is dissolved into fizzy drinks by exposing the drink to it at high pressure. That's why a gas is released when you open the bottle - some of the carbon dioxide bubbles out of the drink because the air pressure is lower than when it dissolved into it. If you leave a bottle open, over time your drink will go "flat" because carbon dioxide is escaping.
You could detect carbon dioxide by bubbling it through lime-water - if it's present, it goes milky/cloudy in appearance, but that's really a chemistry answer.
CO2 aka Carbon Dioxide

no gas, just pressure . when you shake it, the chemicals let off a small fume which fills the bottle
