Re: Chemical Analysis of Soft Drinks

We'll need more info in order to help you.

What type of chemical analysis? What grade level? Which sodas? etc...

I'm still confused. You'll have to give more of a description.

You said any three contents, and then you listed properties.

Re: Chemical Analysis of Soft Drinks

The Project List that i received says:
-"To analyze the chemical contents of various soft drinks."
give me ideas on what to do?
all items used should also be available in the Lab except for the soft drinks(high school chemistry lab...)

Re: Chemical Analysis of Soft Drinks

Soft drink analysis is a terrible mess given its corn syrup content.

Look up the patents for formulating them.
United States Patent and Trademark Office Home Page

Google
"soft drink" hplc 20,100 hits
"soft drink" analysis -industry -health 69,200 hits

Using litmus paper, measure the Ph of each type of soda and compare them.

Hmmm...but if we could isolate the corn syrup...
In other words, How much sugar does the soda have? How could you measure this?

I propose a that we test the limited anticipatory experience of orally ingesting various soft drinks and comparing them to a base to come up with a relativistic measure of such content...?

So, why the need to post this on chemical forums, Malay?

and yeah, google is your friend, to give you a general idea of how cola is made, here is a nice write up on it...:
Notes On Making Cola

follow through, there are ingredients, etc in there, just press "section 2" once you are done reading the first one...

Re: Chemical Analysis of Soft Drinks

Don't you need some HPLC for chemical contents?
Unlikely to find this in a school chem. lab.

You could always read the label?
How would you test for CO2, caffeine, phenylalanine, SO2, vit C.
