Coke, (the soda, I'm assuming) contains Citric acid, which is mostly harmless and will not devour a penny in 3 hours, or magically obliterate mineral deposits or chew through concrete or anything. If you're an excessive drinker though, it can inflict damage on the enamel of your teeth. To avoid that unpleasantness, you can use a straw or just... drink.. less.
love, tricia
Unfortunately Tricia, your answer leaves quite a bit to be desired
Citric acid may be harmless but Phosphoric acid, which is the main acid used in coke (primarily because its far cheaper than citric acid) has big shadows hanging over its safety. Various studies have been conducted which initially showed that this stuff had a detrimental effect on bone density (amongst other things) Unsurprisingly, soon after this came out, another study was done, probably commissioned and controlled by the manufacturers which showed it was (lo and behold) actually good for the bones. Which all just goes to that you can get whatever test results you want if you know how to manipulate the results.
coke contain gastric acid
Interestingly enough I just read today that it did contain said acid! H3PO4
yes
1 gallon
It doesn't contain an acid, it is an acid. Lactic acid to be precise.
carbon doixide
vinegar contain, Acetic acid
All sodas contain phosphoric acid. Clear sodas contain an extra acid called citric acid. This gives Sprite and 7-Up their lemon-lime flavour.
No Coke is not more acetic than vinegar because of the acid they contain. Vinegar has an acid called acetic acid that is a lot more powerful than the acid Coke contains which only effects the enamel on your teeth. So there you have it! Really you! ;)
It is slightly acidic because contain phosphoric acid.
