$H_{2}C{O}_3$ is a weak acid which is present in soft drinks.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$H_{2}C{O}_3$ is a weak acid which is present in soft drinks. The fizz that bubbles up when you crack open a can of soda is carbon dioxide gas ($C{O}_2$). Soft drink manufacturers add this tingling froth by forcing carbon dioxide and water into your soda at high pressures—up to 1,200 pounds per square inch. This water and carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid $H_{3}C{O}_3$.
