Quantities and composition are proprietary matters. The ingredients however are noted on every container as a matter of US Federal law: Carbonated water - H2O infused with CO2 High fructose corn syrup - liquid corn sugar Caramel color - caramelized sugar in a water suspension (gives colas their dark color) Sugar - beet or cane sugar in granulated form. Phosphoric acid - calcium phosphate treated with sulfuric acid added to provide a sharp citrus taste. Caffeine - xanthine alkaloid derived from a number of plants that acts as a central nervous stimulant. Citric acid - calcium citrate salt treated with sulfuric acid to produce a white powder that adds a citric taste. Natural flavors - plant extracts or derivatives used to flavor the product, perhaps kola nut., perhaps additional flavors.

Pepsi contains Carbonic Acid(H2CO3), and water and many other natural coloured artificial matters

However, Pepsi is a mixture, thus it does not have any definite formula. However, it contains very weak Carbonic Acid, which can react with other bases to form Carbonate salts.

H2CO3 + 2NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

(Carbonic Acid reacts with Baking Soda, which contains aminly Sodium Bi-Carbonate, to form Sodium Carbonate along with Carbon-Di-Oxide and Water)
