Soda pop "pops" because it is bottled under pressure, with CO2 in solution in the liquid. When the pressure is relieved, the CO2 bubbles out. Heating the liquid forces the gas out of solution. No CO2, no pop.

Is the pH of flat soda pop lower than the pH of regular soda?

Short answer: NO. The pH of flat soda should be HIGHER than fresh/ regular soda. A LOW pH means HIGH acid (pH 2) and LOW base--while HIGH pH (e.g. pH 11) is LOW acid and HIGH base. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) turns into carbon dioxide (CO2) (a clear, odorless gas) and water (H20) when soda bubbles or fizzes---it bubbles up from the pop/ soda and "boils" into the air. Boiling simply means the transition from liquid to gas. It doesn't have to mean that the liquid is hot. Since the reaction turns an acid into neutral, non-acidic compounds then acid is reduced. With less acid the pH increases. So "the pH of flat soda pop is HIGHER than the pH of regular soda."
