Chemistry Cold Drinks Class 12 Practical Project

R. Naveen completed a chemistry project comparing four brands of cold drinks - Coca Cola, Sprite, Limca, and Fanta. Through qualitative analysis and pH testing, the project found that all drinks contained glucose, alcohol, sucrose, phosphate, and carbon dioxide. Coca Cola had the lowest pH and highest acidity, while Limca had the highest pH and lowest acidity. Sprite contained the most carbon dioxide, while Fanta contained the least. The project provided hands-on experience fulfilling chemistry curriculum requirements.

INTRODUCTION

The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but the


industrialization in India marked its beginning
with launching of Limca and Goldspot by parley
Groups of companies. Since, the beginning of
cold drinks was highly profitable and luring,
many Multinational companies launched their
brands in India like Pepsi and Coke.

Now days, it is observed in general that majority


of people viewed Sprite, Miranda, and Limca to
give feeling of lightness, while Pepsi and Thumps
Up to activate pulse and brain.
THEORY

Cold drinks of different brands are composed of


alcohol, carbohydrates, carbon dioxide, phosphate
ions etc. These soft drinks give feeling of warmth,
lightness and have a tangy taste which is liked by
everyone. Carbon dioxide is responsible for the
formation of froth on shaking the bottle.

The carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in water to form


carbonic acid which is also responsible for the tangy
taste. Carbohydrates are the naturally occurring
organic compounds and are major source of energy
to our body. General formula of carbohydrates is
CX (H2O)Y.

On the basis of their molecule size carbohydrates are


classified as:-

Monosaccharide, Disaccharides and Polysaccharides. Glucose


is a monosaccharide with formula C6H12O6 .It occurs in Free
State in the ripen grapes in bones and also in many sweet
fruits. It is also present in human blood to the extent of
about 0.1%. Sucrose is one of the most useful disaccharides
in our daily life. It is widely distributed in nature in juices,
seeds and also in flowers of many plants. The main source
of sucrose is sugar cane juice which contain 15-20 %
sucrose and sugar beet which has about 10-17 % sucrose.
The molecular formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. It is
produced by a mixture of glucose and fructose. It is non-
reducing in nature whereas glucose is reducing. Cold drinks
are a bit acidic in nature and their acidity can be measured
by finding their pH value. The pH values also depend upon
the acidic contents such as citric acid and phosphoric acid.

DETECTION OF pH
EXPERIMENT:
small samples of cold drinks of different brands were
taken in a test tube. The change in colour of pH was
noticed and was compared with the standard pH scale.

OBSERVATION:
S.no Name of the Colour pH values
drink changes
1 Coca Cola pink 2
2 sprite Red 2
3 Limca Pinkish 4
4 Fanta Light orange 3

INFERENCE:
Cold Drinks are generally acidic because of the
presence of citric acid and phosphoric acid. pH
values of Cold Drinks of different brands are
different due to the variation in amount of acidic
contents.
TEST FOR CARBON DIOXIDE
EXPERIMENT:
As soon as the bottles were opened, one by one
the sample passed through lime water. The lime
water turned milky.

OBSERVATION:
S.no Name of the Time Conclusion
drink Taken(sec)
1 Coca Cola 26 CO2 is present
2 sprite 21 CO2 is present
3 Limca 35 CO2 is present
4 Fanta 36 CO2 is present

INFERENCE:
All the cold drinks contains dissolved carbon dioxide
in water. The CO2 dissolved in water to form
Carbonic acid, which is responsible for its tangy
taste.
Ca(OH)2 (s) + CO2(g) CaCO3(s) + H2O(s)
TEST FOR GLUCOSE
1. BENEDICT’S REAGENT TEST:
Small samples of cold drinks of different brands
were taken in a test tube and a few drops of be
Benedict’s reagent were added. The test tubes
were heated for few seconds. Formation of
reddish colour confirmed the presence of glucose
in cold drinks.
OBSERVATION:

S.no Name of the Observation Conclusion


drink
1 Coca Cola Reddish ppt Glucose is present
2 sprite Reddish ppt Glucose is present
3 Limca Reddish ppt Glucose is present
4 Fanta Reddish ppt Glucose is present

INFERENCE:
All the samples gave positive test for glucose with
benedicts reagent. Hence all the drinks contain
glucose.
2. FEHLING’S SOLUTION TEST
Small samples of cold drinks of different brands were taken
in a test tube and a few drops of Fehling’s A & B solution
e=was added in equal amount. The test tube was heated in
a water bath for 10 minutes. Appearance of brown ppt
confirmed the presence of glucose in cold drinks.

OBSERVATION:
S.no Name of the Observation Conclusion
drink
1 Coca Cola Reddish-brown Glucose is present

3 Limca Reddish-brown Glucose is present
ppt
4 Fanta Reddish-brown Glucose is present
ppt
INFERENCE:
All the samples gave positive test for glucose with
Fehling’s solutions. Hence all the cold drinks contain
glucose.

TEST FOR ALCOHOL


EXPERIMENT:
Small samples of each brand of cold drinks were
taken in separate test tubes and Iodine followed by
Potassium Iodide and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
solution was added to each test tube. Then the
test tubes were heated in hot water bath for 30
minutes. Appearance of yellow colored precipitate
confirmed the presence of alcohol in cold drinks.
OBSERVATION:
S.no Name of the Observation Conclusion
drink
1 Coca Cola Yellow ppt Alcohol is present
2 sprite Yellow ppt Alcohol is present
3 Limca Yellow ppt Alcohol is present
4 Fanta Yellow ppt Alcohol is present
INFERENCE:
All the cold drinks gave positive test for alcohol.
Hence all the cold drinks contain glucose.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVLOVED:
CH3CH2OH + 4I2 + 6NaOH ------ CHI3 + HCOONa + 5NaI + 5H2O
TEST FOR SUCROSE
EXPERIMENT:
5 ml samples of each brand of cold drinks were
taken in separate china Dishes and were heated
very strongly until changes occur. Black colored
residue left confirmed the presence of sucrose
in cold drinks.

OBSERVATION:
S.no Name of the Observation Conclusion
drink
1 Coca Cola Black Residue Sucrose is present
2 Sprite Black Residue Sucrose is present
3 Limca Black Residue Sucrose is present
4 Fanta Black Residue Sucrose is present

INFERENCE:

All the brands of cold drinks contain sucrose.


But amount of sucrose varies in each brand of
drink. Fanta contains highest amount of sucrose.
RESULT
After conducting several tests, it was concluded
that the different brands of cold drinks namely:
Coca Cola
1) Sprite
2) Limca
3) Fanta
All contains glucose, alcohol, sucrose, phosphate
and carbon dioxide. All cold drinks are acidic in
nature. On comparing the pH value of different
brands Coca Cola is the most acidic and Limca
is least acidic of all the four brands taken.

CARBON DIOXIDE:

Among the four samples of cold drinks taken,


Sprite has the maximum amount of dissolved
carbon dioxide and Fanta has the minimum
amount of dissolved carbon dioxide.
