Why are soft drink made with chilled water rather than water at room temperature?
Correct answer: C. Chilled water attracts more carbon dioxide
- A. Ingredients dissolve better in chilled water
- B. Chilled water enhances the taste
- C. Chilled water attracts more carbon dioxide
- D. Chilled water is more hygienic
Explanation
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in cold water than in warm water, so chilled water retains more dissolved gas and makes a soft drink more highly carbonated. Chilling also improves taste, but greater CO2 solubility is the scientific reason.
