My thoughts are that it's the citric acid used in sodas today. Not sure, but I don't think that sugars and colorings have much to do with it.
Use BAKING SODA not a soft drink!
yes when you pour the pop rocks into the soda the carbine dioxide builds up and the air makes it blow up
usually for changing the coolant or you may have to block drain it before giving it to the scrap yard. It only means to make sure all fluid is out of the motor. Oil, Water, Coolant, Fuel, Windex, Alcohol, Soda, Battery acid, etc.
Why would we be that sad to find that out?!
Actually, carbon dioxide is shot into the soda and that what makes it so fizzy. can you explain why that happens?-flub flub
Soda and it is dangerous the soda could explode
Clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water.
It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.
A mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water.
Best is a wire brush and baking soda. You can use grease to coat the terminals to slow down the corrosion.
The corrosion on the battery terminals is from the acid inside the battery. Baking soda neutralizes the acid so that it doesn't corrode the battery cables and the metal parts around the battery.
it stains them and makes your teeth super sensitive
No, it is battery acid corrosion caused by leaking fumes. Clean it off with water and baking soda which will neutralize the acid.
Baking soda and water. It will neutralize the acid. After removing the acid clean the post with a battery cleaning tool you can buy at any auto parts store.
Try the NAPA battery terminal cleaner.
A solution of 1 part Baking Soda and 2 parts Water is one method of removing the corrosion from the battery posts. Once cleaned (be sure to thoroughly dry them, too) apply a light coating of Vaseline before re-connecting the wires to the terminals. Never, ever, use soda for this task ... the sugar in the soda leaves a residue on the terminals and makes them sticky. I have found it usefull to put silicone sealant around base of terminals . this helps retard acid fumes from causing future corrosion. it may not stop it but it will definitely slow it down. P.S. I do it with all my batteries with top side terminals.
Each material has a specific solubility in a solvent.
The carbonation (pressurized CO2) creates carbonic acid in the soda. The soda is very acidic with a pH of about 2.5. If you put a tooth in soda, and let it sit for a few days, it would completely dissolve.
