I have to make a project on "Chemical Analysis of the contents of various soft Drinks"..
But am unable to find any procedure or reference for the project...
Please Help...
What type of chemical analysis? What grade level? Which sodas? etc...

Various soft drinks like Coke,Pepsi etc.
Analysis in terms of its contents..
any 3 content...
can be acidity,ph,sugar,preservative etc any 3...
I'm still confused. You'll have to give more of a description.
You said any three contents, and then you listed properties.

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...)

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

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

Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
