Asked in Drinks and Beverages
What makes carbonated beverages bubble?
Since the equation for the equilibrium reaction for the brewing
of carbonated beverages and the transport of gases in the blood is:
H2O + CO2 <---> H2CO3 <---> H+ + HCO3- then the bubbles
in carbonated beverages come from carbonic acid (H2CO3) converting
into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), in which the carbon
dioxide separates as a gas since it is poorly soluble in water.
