Which one of the following gas is used in making soft drinks?
General KnowledgeChemistry
- ANH3
- BPH3
- CCOCl2
- DCO2
Explanation
Carbon dioxide is dissolved in soft drinks under pressure to carbonate them; it is released as fizz when the bottle is opened. Ammonia, phosphine and phosgene are toxic gases and are never used in beverages. The pressure keeps the gas dissolved; releasing the cap lets it escape as bubbles.
