Water molecules are V-shaped with a partly negative charge on the oxygens and partly positive charges on the hydrogens. These two factors cause strong bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms of surrounding water molecules, and a higher boiling point to cause enough vibration for them to break apart and vaporize. Carbon dioxide, however, is line-shaped, so it doesn't have the partial charges. Therefore, the bond is weaker between molecules.

Carbonated water is, in essence, a mixture like vinegar and water. Really, they are two substances mixed together that have separate physical and thermodynamic properties. When heating carbonated water in an open environment at STP, the CO2 will vaporize out of the carbonated water well before the water begins to boil. So really, it is somewhat improbable to boil carbonated water.

Imagine a container with ice shavings and aluminum shavings in it. You want to melt the aluminum/ice slush. The water will melt and change phases long before the aluminum does because of its heat capacity. By the time the aluminum starts to melt, the water is all gone. Same principle with the CO2 and water.

Definitive Answer:

That is a trick question. By the time the water gets up to temperature, all of the dissolved CO2 has effervesced out. By the time the water is boiling it is nothing but water.

Below, the contention that sugar is dissolved in carbonated water is worth exploring because many soft drinks are not much more than carbonated sugar water. Taken at face value, though, carbonated water (such as Perrier or club soda) contains no sugar.

answer 2 The principal additive to carbonated water will usually be sugar. This should raise the boiling point (disagreements anyone?) but the difference in boiling point will depend on the amount of sugar present.

Try it yourself, measuring the boiling time of water with different amounts of sugar added.

Use the same amount of water each time, and you should repeat at least one of the experiments so as to have an idea of the repeatability of your experiment.

Equal volumes would have slightly less water in carbonated water than pure water.

Less water, less time to heat before boiling.
