Strike-through text

Using H2C03 (aq) is not incorrect: it indicates that the carbonic acid is in solution. Type "H2C03 (aq)" into Google and you'll get quite a few hits. To be more correct, CO2 should also be (aq) rather than (g), since it is dissolved CO2 that reacts with water. The correct formula would be

H₂O + CO₂ (aq) ↔ H₂CO₃ (aq)

Saying H2O (aq) would be redundant, since it is saying "water dissolved in water", which is rather mundane, and thus truly not needed. Brian Rock

I get 7 hits with the quotes, and 1 hit without the quotes.

I thought maybe the alteration I made last time might have influenced you to look at it in a new light, but I guess not. Chances are nobody but you or I care about this. It really is a minor point - it's not worth any more effort on my part. I'll not change it again. Brian Rock 00:31, Apr 11, 2004 (UTC)

If the above sounds like a bit of attitude crept in, pardon. Brian Rock 00:37, Apr 11, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] How can you tell which soda has the most carbonation?

How can you tell

which soda has the most carbonation? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.157.191.19 (talk • contribs).

look at how many bubbles there are you god damn fool. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.166.172.178 (talk • contribs).

The correct answer is to look at the price. Whatever is cheapest has the most carbonation. I have no idea why. Ewlyahoocom 18:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] soda

Do you mean that we get the same fizzy sensation, though there are no bubbles, or that the drink tastes the same, or nearly the same, when there are no bubbles? I assume the former -- why not say "fizzy sensation" then instead of taste?

Further, what happens to the carbonic acid when the drink goes flat? Are the bubbles carrying the acid traces? What ensures the sense of homogenous distribution of bubbles?

Thanks, eliot

No, it doesn't have the same fizzy sensation, because there are no bubbles. It tastes the same. You can see from the formula at the top of the article that there is an equilibrium between aqueous carbonic acid and gaseous carbon dioxide. I guess you could say the bubbles are "carrying the acid traces", because they are made of carbon dioxide. —Keenan Pepper 04:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

What does Carbonated Water do to people, other than adding fiz to the drink, some one told me it will make you very sleepy, and thats why they add caffeen to Sodas to per you back up, also I heard it taks Calcium out of your system and its bad for your bones ? are any of these things true ? Thanks para

How could carbon dioxide do all those things? —Keenan Pepper 13:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cold cabonation

During addition of carbon dioxide to soft drink, the process is usually cold. Why is that? -Olotu O.

Could it be because the solubility decreases with temperature? —Keenan Pepper 16:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

No, gas solubility increases as the temperature decreases (this can be seen by leaving a cold glass of water to warm up to room temp - small gas bubbles form). But then how is the carbonic acid equalibrium affected by temperature? Possibly the overall effect is that carbonation occurs fastest at low temperatures, anyone know? - Jack (talk) 20:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current article on carbonation: horrible

this current article on carbonation is horrible. i am now fixing it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.166.172.178 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Talk from Effervescence

Is it true that in a perfectly clean glass with no dirt contamination (dust etc.) effervescence cannot happen as there are no seed crystals for the fizzing to start? I mean, as an example, if you pour champagne in a cleanroom clean glas the champagne rests rather dull and fizzy-free? --Abdull 09:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Effervescent

Just wondering if effervescent should have a definition in its own right - since the definition applies more widely than to bubbles arising from carbonation CustardJack 12:20, 14 April 2005

[edit] carbonated cleaning

shouldn't there be somthing in this article about cleaning with carbonation? afterall the worlds largest carpet cleaner "chem-dry" claims carbonated cleaning.....

[edit] Merge

carbonated water is made by carbonation. Neither is a particually complicated thing, and they don't really merit their own articles. It would be useful to have the info for both on the same page. I say merge' - Jack (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)'

[edit] Effervescence is not the same as carbonation

Carbonation is a specific example of effervescence. Surely Carbonation should be a subtopic in effervescence, not vice versa. 195.137.93.230 03:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
