Is bottled soda an acid or a base?

soda is acidic because it has CO2 and carbonate


What is the advantage of carbon dioxide over soda acid extinguisher?

The primary advantage of carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers over soda acid extinguishers is their effectiveness in suppressing fires without leaving a residue. CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen, smothering the fire, while soda acid extinguishers can leave behind a corrosive substance that may damage sensitive equipment. Additionally, CO2 extinguishers are suitable for use on electrical fires, whereas soda acid extinguishers are not recommended for such situations. This makes CO2 extinguishers more versatile and safer for various fire types.


What is the reason for baking soda to be a base?

Baking soda reacts with acid, so it's a base: HCO3- + H+ --> H2O + CO2


Why does coke has the most fizz?

Because of the sugars which easily produce CO2 with the extreme carbonic acid in the soda


Can soda turn into acid in your body?

Soda itself doesn't turn into acid in the body; rather, it contains acids, such as carbonic acid and phosphoric acid, which contribute to its tangy taste. When consumed, these acids can lower the pH in the stomach, but the body maintains a stable internal pH through various regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, the sugars and caffeine in soda can affect metabolism and overall health, but they do not convert the soda into acid.


Why does soda have acid?

Soda is carbonated, meaning that it has carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Some of this carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which makes it acidic


What is the chemical reaction of muriatic acid and baking soda?

The reaction is: NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + CO2 + H2O The correct name of HCl is hydrochloric acid.


When soda at higher temperatures loses it carbonation does this mean that the soda is no longer an acid since the CO2 is responsible for the acidity?

Food Acid 338, usually known as phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is the main reason soft drinks such as coca cola are acidic. The acid is added to balance out the extreme sweetness of all the sugar in the mixture. I would assume that the soda would still be faily acidic at higher temperatures, even though there is less carbonic acid, which is what you are talking about.


Why does baking soda produce co2 when baked?

The chemical formula for baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is NaHCO3 The chemical formula for vinegar (acetic acid) is C2H4O2, or CH3COOH, which is an acetate ion plus a Hydrogen atom. When vinegar is added to baking soda, the baking soda dissociates into CO2, plus OH-, plus Na+. The Na+ replaces an H+ on on the vinegar, to form Sodium acetate. The H+ from the vinegar joins the free OH- from the baking soda, to form water. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) the bubbles through the water and sodium acetate solution.


Why does soda dissolve chalk?

Soda is acidic due to carbonic acid and phosphoric acid, which can react with the calcium carbonate in chalk to form calcium citrate or calcium phosphate. This reaction allows the chalk to dissolve in the soda.


What does CO2 do in carbonated soda?

Carbonated soda has CO2 in it because the gas make the soda bubble and fizz.


Does soda have more acid than juice?

Soda (drink) is acidic as it is effervescence of Co2. Soda(sodium carbonates) does not contain acid but when it reacts with water or vinegar Co2 is evolved to make the resultants acidic in nature and turn blue litmus into red. Sodas containing/mixed with acid( citric acid) or other things ending in acid as ingredients can make it acidic.Citric acid is normally added to make it sour or as preservative.
