How Does Temperature Affect Soda Carbonation

Have you ever wondered what makes Diet Coke and mentos explode and bubble so much? Well here is why it does. There are many reasons why some sodas and colas will not explode as much as other sodas and colas. There is a difference in a physical and chemical reaction when adding in mentos to the different varieties of coke. Researchers have also found different reactions of when submerging mentos into different types of coke. It has also been found on how the parts of the mentos and cokes are broken down to create the eruption.

The process of making soda starts with filtering water. Then they add sweetener and flavoring which is mixed and then added to the water. Then they cool the mixture. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is added to the mixture. This is what gives it its fizz. One of soda’s main components is fructose and glucose. Mixed together, these two sugars form another sugar called sucrose. Sucrose, C12H22O11, is comprised from carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. Since carbon and oxygen make up carbon dioxide, this means that sucrose has carbon dioxide in it. With the carbon dioxide from the sucrose and the carbon dioxide from the last step of making soda, the soda is full of carbon dioxide. This is one of the reasons soda is bad for you. It contains too much carbon dioxide. Soda is bad because it can cause dehydration. Soda also has too much sugar. One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Too much of soda can cause diabetes. Soda contains phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid does not let our bodies absorb calcium. This leads to our bones softening and to cavities. Soda has no nutrients, too. It doesn’t provide you with anything good for your

“when water underground comes in contact with a source of carbon, such as limestone” (sciencebuddies.org) soda pop is a sweet tasty thing for the taste buds and even though it’s not the best for people scientist believe it is good for your taste buds and throat because its cold and soothing that’s why if one is sick or have a upset stomach certain soda will make one feel better. Because of the fizz in it and coolness it will

Hypothesis: If the temperature (I.V.) of materials in the reaction are increased, the reaction time (D.V.) will decrease.

Temperature is very important in this experiment (Energy & Heat). Temperature affects the amount of steam, and steam makes the popcorn pop. So if the temperature is low, it will take more time to pop. If the temperature is high it will take less time to pop. In conclusion, the lower the temperature, the less steam created, and the higher temperature, the more steam created. Resulting in the popping time needed. The temperature is very important, because the temperature determines when the popcorn will pop. So if the temperature is low or way high, the popcorn will either burn or not pop (Walker).

For this lab, we brought a empty soda can to school to show how pressure and temperature can affect the structure of the can. To begin the experiment, we needed a empty soda can, water and ice in a small plastic tub, and a hot plate. First, we added about a tablespoon of water to the empty soda can. Second, we put the soda can on the hot plate and waited until the water was brought to a boil. Then we used beaker tongs to carry the hot soda can and flipped it over into the container of water and ice. Once the can touched the water, the can made a loud crushing sound and the can crippled inward.

My hypothesis was rejected, in this experiment I found that the soda had more fizz without ice than it did with ice. But as I continued my experiment I noticed the soda without ice fizzed more. I also noticed that the bigger the cube the longer it took for the soda to die down, and the smaller the ice cube the quicker the fizz in the

This graph shows an approximate prediction of the results that will be obtained from this practical. The same trendline will need to be observed in order for the hypothesis to be be confirmed. The froth volume will increase as the temperatures increase, and then once the optimum temperature is reached (approximately 39°C), the froth volume will then start to decrease afterwards. This will be caused by the enzymes denaturing due to the high temperatures.

I am researching,”Does the type of soda effect the amount of fizz that comes out of a can with mentos” . According to “ Diet coke and mentos; Why the reaction” it says that the Ingredients in the mentos effect the reaction because inside the mentos it has Potassium Benzoate and aspartame. Mentos have Potassium Benzoate and Aspartame to make the soda fizz and the carbon inside the soda makes the fizz pack together and it tries escape the can. The bubbles inside the soda is carbon dioxide and when the carbon dioxide mixes with the mentos it causes the fizz to mount up and it escapes the can. The Potassium Benzoate and Aspartame reduces the amount of work required to form bubbles in the carbonated soda.

There are many ingredients in soda that is bad for you.What is soda made of? Soda is carbonated water that is flavored and sweetened with sugar. Soda is basically made of carbonated water, sweeteners, phosphoric and citric acid, caffeine, and natural flavors. The natural flavors added are from fruits, vegetables, nuts, leaves, herbs, and spices. Phosphoric acid is purposely added to soft drinks because it gives them a sharper and tangier flavor. Citric acid and phosphoric acid can not only prevent spoilage, but it also can weaken the bones. In order for me to continue the experiment, I

The history of soft drink derives from soda water. Gabriel Francois Venel produced artificially carbonated water first in 1750. As in that time, many wines and beers were carbonated through a process of fermentation for centuries before. But now one had thought of the idea to carbonated water through fermentation. Until 1767, when Joseph Priestley discovered a process of infusing water with carbon dioxide by suspending a bowl of water over a vat of fermenting beer in a brewery in Leeds, England. After the discovery of the production of carbonated drinks, and the discovery of the method of carbonated water, a man by the name J.J. Schweppes came into the picture around the 1800s.

You will study one exothermic and one endothermic reaction in this experiment. In Part I, you will study the reaction between citric acid solution and baking soda. An equation for the reaction is: H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3 NaHCO3(s) ---> 3 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(aq) + Na3C6H5O7(aq)

We have found that the (salted) ice water bowl cooled the can of soda to a good drinking temperature of about 44 degrees after about 5- 6 minutes. The can in the freezer should have only reached about 60 degrees or so ,it needs a good 20 minutes to get nice and cold .And that is because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water in the bowl ,allowing the ice in the ice bath to melt while still retaining its temperature. This makes the cold water in the ice bowl even colder .The freezer, while it is pretty much cold, just didn’t make the competition because cold air just isn’t enough to do the job quickly. Water is a much better heat conductor than air, so heat is able to leave the can more quickly in the ice

On one hand, the main advantage is that it contains a decent amount of caffeine. Caffeine makes the consumer become more alert and energized, especially when tired. Thus, in some cases it might help increase someone’s performance when working on important things that requires a lot of attention. Moreover, the FDA has concluded that caffeine is safe as long as taken in considerable amounts and is said that around 300mg of caffeine is healthy. A can of pop contains around 34 mg of caffeine, which is way less than the maximum amount of caffeine that is considered safe. On the other hand, the disadvantages of soda overcome its advantages. Other than soda being a source of water, soda doesn’t in any way offer any nutritional or health benefits. According to many recent researches conducted by different research centers and universities, conclude that consuming pop is linked to all kinds of diseases that include: heart disease, asthma, pancreatic cancer and type-2 diabetes. Moreover, soda has a high amount of calories, mostly coming from sugar. It is told, that a person that consumes 2 cans of soda a day will gain around 2 lb. within a

A bottle of soda is full of carbon dioxide. The bubbles stay stuck in the liquid until the bottle is opened. When you drop an item into a bottle of soda, bubbles form on the surface of the object that was dropped in. This Process is called, “nucleation.” Nucleation is the process that happens in the formation of a crystal from a solution, a liquid, or a vapour.
