Question

What gas causes sparkling wines, soft-drinks, and bottled lagers to effervesce? `A.` `"carbon monoxide"`; `B.` `"dioxygen"`; `C.` `"dinitrogen"`; `D.` `"carbon dioxide."`

Answer 1

`"Option D"`

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is the `"carbonation"` in soft drinks and beers, and champagnes. When we bottle beer or ginger beer at home, we add a teaspoon of sugar just before we cap the bottle. This sugar will be fermented by residual yeast to give carbon dioxide, and a `"sparkling drink".`

What would happen if we added `""^(-)C-=O^(+)`?
