How Do You Measure Carbonation In Soft Drinks For A Science Project?
Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is bottled under pressure to create carbonated drinks. This carbonation creates the “fizziness” of these drinks. The carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid. When the bottle or can is opened, the carbonation escapes. Different types of liquid are able to hold different amounts of carbonation. Use a knife or box cutter to make a hole in the top of the cap from a two-liter bottle. Adults should help children with this step.A simple X cut should provide enough space to insert the aquarium tubing. Check to make sure air flows freely through the tube when it is inserted into the cap. Use glue to seal the cap around the tube so gas cannot escape. Allow to dry completely. Mark the glass jar by filling it with ½ cup of water at a time and marking the level on the jar after adding each additional ½ cup. If more accurate data is required, use a ¼ cup measurement. This will provide an easier measurement for the experiment. Fill the bowl ¼ full of water. Fill the glass ja
