Experiment 6- Effect of carbonation on the solubility of sugar in soft drinks.

                                                             Experiment 6

AIM: To

Investigate the effect of carbonation on the solubility of sugar in soft drinks.
.

APPARATUS AND MATERIAL REQUIRED: 

1. Different types of soft drinks (with and without carbonation)
2. Sugar
3. Graduated cylinder
4. Test tubes
5. Water

A photo of a glass of flat soda with a lot of sugar at the bottom. This shows that when soda is not carbonated, the sugar is not very soluble and will sink to the bottom of the glass.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To determine the solubility of sugar in soft drinks with different levels of carbonation.
2. To compare the solubility of sugar in soft drinks with and without carbonation.

PROCEDURE:

1. Fill a graduated cylinder with 100 mL of each type of soft drink.
2. Add 10 g of sugar to each test tube.
3. Add 10 mL of water to each test tube.
4. Shake each test tube vigorously.
5. Allow the test tubes to sit for 1 hour.
6. Compare the amount of sugar that has dissolved in each test tube.

A photo of a glass of carbonated soda with very little sugar at the bottom. This shows that when soda is carbonated, the sugar is more soluble and will stay suspended in the liquid.

EXPECTED RESULTS:

The amount of sugar that has dissolved in each test tube will vary depending on the level of carbonation in the soft drink. The soft drinks with more carbonation will have less sugar dissolved in them.

A photo showing an experiment to measure the solubility of sugar in carbonated and non-carbonated soda. This shows that the solubility of sugar is affected by carbonation.

CONCLUSION:

The results of this experiment show that carbonation has an effect on the solubility of sugar in soft drinks. The more carbonation in the soft drink, the less sugar will dissolve in it. This is because carbon dioxide gas forms bubbles in the soft drink, which makes it less dense and less able to dissolve sugar.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This experiment can be modified in a number of ways. For example, you could use different types of sugar or different amounts of sugar. You could also try different types of carbonated beverages, such as soda, beer, or sparkling water.
