In the sense that nothing can be absolutely pure... maybe.

In the sense that it's a significant and deliberately included ingredient, no. Some carbonated drinks do contain phosphoric acid, but most do not.

The acid that all carbonated drinks do contain is carbonic acid, since that (or more precisely the carbonate ion that it contains) is where the name "carbonated drinks" comes from.

What chemicals make soft drinks acidic?

What makes fizzy drinks fizzy is the carbon dioxide, or CO2 in them. When CO2 is dissolved in water, it doesn't stay as CO2. Instead, it forms carbonic acid, H2CO3. CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3 It is the carbonic acid that is acidic.


Do all flavored drinks contain acid?

Not all flavored drinks contain acid. Some flavored drinks may be acidic due to ingredients like citrus, but not all flavors rely on acidic components. Non-acidic flavors can be achieved using ingredients such as herbs, spices, or sweeteners.


What is the relative atomic mass of phosphoric acid?

The relative atomic mass of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of all the constituent atoms. Phosphoric acid contains one phosphorus atom with an atomic mass of approximately 31.0, three hydrogen atoms with an atomic mass of approximately 1.0 each, and four oxygen atoms with an atomic mass of approximately 16.0 each. Adding these together gives an approximate relative atomic mass of 98.0.


Are all the PO bond lengths in phosphoric acid expected to have the same value?

These bonds haven't identical length.


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.

Is soft drinks a acidic?

No. Soft drinks are acidic as they contain carbonic acid and often phosphoric acid.


What is the effect of carbonated drinks on your bones?

Carbonated drinks, especially those high in phosphoric acid like colas, have been linked to lower bone mineral density over time. The phosphoric acid in these drinks can interfere with calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss, potentially increasing the risk of osteoporosis. It's important to consume these beverages in moderation and ensure an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.


Is carbonic acid used in your everyday life?

Yes. It is found in all of our carbonated drinks.

What acid do fizzy drinks contain?

Fizzy soft drinks contain many chemicals. One of these is citric acid - a weak acid that is naturally found in citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and limes. It is added to soft drinks to give a slightly sour taste, to stabilise the 'fizz' and also to serve as a preservative.


Is phosphoric acid in all sodas?

Mainly not. But there is some in only caramel brown colored cola-drinks.


Which is more acidic coffee or cola?

The Cola drink is a strange mixture of phosphoric acid, sugar, caffeine, coloring and flavoring. The amount of phosphoric acid is 55%, giving cola drinks an acidity of pH 2.6, or about the same as vinegar. Why doesn't cola drink taste like vinegar? Because of the sugar added.

Is a coke an acid?

Yes it does but not bad acid that can kill you. --- All soft drinks generally have carbonic acid (carbon dioxide dissolved in water under pressure). Some soft drinks also contain phosphoric acid. These acids may not kill people but may cause serious acidity if taken regularly.
