Why is carbon dioxide added to fizzy drinks in a high temperature?

There are a number of reasons for this. One of them is that carbon dioxide dissolves really quite well compared with nitrogen. Nitrogen will not dissolve. It's very insoluble, you have to make nitrogen work quite hard to dissolve and that's why when you get the bends after you surface quickly from diving it's the nitrogen that bubbles out of your blood and causes the bends because it just doesn't want to dissolve. Carbon dioxide does. The other thing that carbon dioxide does when it goes into water and one of the reasons it dissolves quite well is it reacts with water to make carbonic acid. So CO2 plus H2O goes to H2CO3, that's carbonic acid and that dissociates into H+ (that's the acid bit, the hydrogen ions) plus HCO3-bicarbonate. When you have acids in a liquid acids taste liquidy. So you get this very nice lemony flavour added to the drink so the carbon dioxide not only dissolves well so you can get your drinks really fizzy and get your gasses in it also means it tastes nicer and you can get lots of gas dissolving so it comes out gently in the drink. It stays fizzier for longer. Also it's free. You can get it from the brewing industry, yeast produces it and you don't even have to purify it. You can just get it off the yeast.

What is the chemical composition of a burp?
A general composition is: nitrogen and oxigen; after drinking carbonated beverageas carbon dioxide is added. Sometimes odors from other drinks and meals.
What does carbon dioxide attach to in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is added to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate in the Calvin cycle.
What are softdrinks?
These is because, it contain's dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) as the anion CO32-; carbon dioxide is added to improve the taste and for raising the acidity.
How does Carbon Dioxide relate to the temperature?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. When there is an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it leads to the trapping of heat from the Sun, causing an overall rise in temperature. This phenomenon is known as global warming.
What is added to the body and removed from the body with every breath?
Carbon dioxide
What gas in used in lemonade?
I'm not sure about lemonade, but carbon dioxide is added to make soda fizzy. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a gas that can bind to water (H2O) molecules when it dissolves to form H2CO3, which is a weak acid known as Carbonic Acid.
