CO2 is used for flavor, because it's cheap, and because it comes out of solution easily in nicely sized bubbles. When it comes to carbonating drinks, not all gasses will produce the same type or levels of fizziness, due to their different solubilities. Think of the difference between the bubbles in a bottle of seltzer water and a Guinness draft. That huge difference is almost solely due to differences in the gas used: pure CO2 for seltzer, ~70% N2/30%CO2 for Guinness. Similarly, N2O is used for whipped cream because it's lipid-soluble, anti-microbial, and has a slightly sweet taste.
Soft drinks contain dissolved carbon dioxide to give them their characteristic fizz or carbonation. The carbon dioxide is added under pressure, and when the bottle or can is opened, the pressure is released, causing the carbon dioxide to escape as bubbles, creating the carbonation in the drink.

Is nitrogen in fizzy drinks?
Yes, nitrogen is sometimes used to carbonate fizzy drinks instead of carbon dioxide. Nitrogen gives the drink a smoother mouthfeel and different carbonation characteristics compared to carbon dioxide.
Why is carbonic acid preferred to other acids in fizzy drinks?
Carbonic acid is preferred in fizzy drinks because it is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, giving the drinks their characteristic fizziness without imparting a strong acidic taste. It is a weak acid, so it does not overpower the flavor of the drink. Additionally, carbonic acid is easily formed and stable, making it a cost-effective and convenient choice for carbonating beverages.
What is in fizzy drinks carbon dioxide hydrogen nitrogen or oxygen?
Carbon dioxide is what makes drinks fizzy.
Does a carbonated drink contain carbon?
Yes. They are so called because they contain Carbon Dioxide gas under pressure, which is comprised of two oxygen molecules bonded to one carbon molecule (Molecular Formula is CO2. Also, organic chemicals are comprised of carbon chains with various molecules attached, so anything that contains organic compounds (ex. sugar) has carbon in it.
Give One example of gas dissolved in liquid?
Carbon dioxide is a gas that can dissolve in liquids, such as soda or sparkling water. The carbonate ions form when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, giving these drinks their characteristic fizziness and bubbles.
Why do soft drinks fizz?
Soft drinks are also known as carbonated drinks. Have you thought why? Soft drinks contain chuge quantities of carbon dioxide under high pressure. The high pressure causes the gas to remain in dissolved state. Hence, when you open the bottle, the pressure falls, and the dissolved carbon dioxide can no longer remain dissolved, and hence escapes off, as fizzing.
Why is carbon dioxide dissolved in fizzy drinks?

What chemical gives a soft drink it bubbles?
the carbon dioxide dissolved in the drinks gives it its bubbles
Which gas is dissolved in cold drinks to give it a tangy taste?
carbon dioxide (CO2)
What causes the fizzing in coca cola drinks?
The carbon dioxide which is dissolved in all fizzy drinks.
What does cola have in it?
Cola drinks contain carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide gas) and many also contain phosphoric acid (and/or lactic acid) to balance the sweet taste.
What are the acid amounts in coke?
All soft drinks generally have carbonic acid (carbon dioxide dissolved in water under pressure). Some soft drinks also contain phosphoric acid.
Is nitrogen in fizzy drinks?
Yes, nitrogen is sometimes used to carbonate fizzy drinks instead of carbon dioxide. Nitrogen gives the drink a smoother mouthfeel and different carbonation characteristics compared to carbon dioxide.
What chemical gives soft drink it's bubbles?
the carbon dioxide dissolved in the drinks gives it its bubbles
Is the carbon dioxide of carbonated soft drinks organic or inorganic?
The carbon dioxide in carbonated soft drinks is considered inorganic because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds typically found in organic compounds.
Why is carbonic acid preferred to other acids in fizzy drinks?
Carbonic acid is preferred in fizzy drinks because it is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, giving the drinks their characteristic fizziness without imparting a strong acidic taste. It is a weak acid, so it does not overpower the flavor of the drink. Additionally, carbonic acid is easily formed and stable, making it a cost-effective and convenient choice for carbonating beverages.
What are chemicals in fizzy drinks?
The fizz in the drinks are from carbon dioxide.
