Thanks to My Chemistry TeachersName
in providing a helping
hand in this project. Their valuable guidance, support
and supervision all through this project titled
“Content of Cold Drinks Available in the Market”,
are responsible for attaining its present form.
XII – A
PURPOSE
In recent days, soft drink brands were put into

various questions regarding their purity.
News flashed that theycontain harmful pesticide,

which arouse many interest inknowing
its contents because I have been drinking them

foryears. I wanted to confirm that whether the
charge imposeon these brands are true or not.

Another fact which inspired me to do this projectis
that Iam in touch with qualitative analysis
whose knowledgewith other factors
helped me to do so.

INTRODUCTION
The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but the indianization

of industry marked its beginning with launching of limca
and gold spot by parley group 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 softdrinks give feeling of warmth, lightness and have a tangy
tastewhich is liked by everyone. Carbon dioxide is responsible for theformation of froth on
shaking the bottle.The carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in water to form carbonic acidwhich is
also responsible for the tangy taste. Carbohydrates are thenaturally occurring organic
compounds and are major source ofenergy to our body. General formula of carbohydrates isCX
(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 inthe ripen grapes in bones and also in many sweet
fruits. It is alsopresent in human blood to the extent of about 0.1%. Sucrose is oneof the most
useful disaccharides in our daily life. It is widelydistributed in nature in juices, seeds and also in
flowers of manyplants. The main source of sucrose is sugar cane juice whichcontain 15-20 %
sucrose and sugar beet which has about 10-17 %sucrose. The molecular formula of sucrose is
C12H22O11. It isproduced by a mixture of glucose and free dose. It is non-reducingin nature
whereas glucose is reducing. Cold drinks are a bit acidicin nature and their acidity can be
measured by finding their pHvalue. The pH values also depend upon the acidic contents such
ascitric acid and phosphoric acid.
APPARATUS

China dish
Wire gauge
Water bath
CHEMICALS REQUIRED
Iodine solution
Potassium iodine
Sodium hydroxide
Fehling’s A & B solution
Lime water
Concentrated HNO3
Benedict solution
Ammonium molybdate
DETECTION OF PH
1-2 drops of the sample of cold drink of each brand was taken and put on the
pH paper. The change in the color of pH paper was noticed and was compared
with the standard pH scale.
OBSERVATION
SR. NO NAME OF THE DRINK OBSERVATION CONCLUSION

1 COCA COLA Pink 1-2
2 SPRITE Orange 3
3 LIMCA Pinkish 3-4
4 FANTA Light Pink 2-3
INFERENCE
Soft drinks are generally acidic because of the presence of citric acid and
phosphoric acid. pH values of cold drink 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 was passed through
lime water. The lime water turned milky.
OBSERVATON
SR. NO NAME OF THE DRINK Time Taken (Sec.) CONCLUSION

1 COCA COLA 26.5 CO2is Present
2 SPRITE 21 CO2 is Present
3 LIMCA 36 CO2 is Present
4 FANTA 35 CO2 is Present
INFERENCE
All the soft drinks contain dissolved carbon dioxide in water. The carbon dioxide
(CO2) dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is responsible for its tangy
taste.
CHEMICAL REACTION INVOLVED
Ca(OH)2 (s) + CO2(g) CaCO3 (s) + H2O(s)

TEST FOR GLUCOSE
Glucose is a reducing sugar acid. Its presence is detected by the following test:-
1. BENIDICTS’S SOLUTION TEST:-
A small sample of cold drink of different brands was taken in a test tube anda few
drops of Benedict’s reagent were added. The test tube was heated for few seconds.
Formation of reddish color confirms the presence of glucose in cold drinks.
OBSERVATON

1 COCA COLA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
2 SPRITE Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present

3 LIMCA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
4 FANTA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
INFERENCE
All the samples gave positive test for glucose with Benedict’s reagent.
Hence all the drinks contain glucose.
2. FEHLING’S SOLUTION TEST
A small sample of cold drink of different brands was taken in a test tube anda few
drops of Fehling’s A solution and Fehling’s B solution was added inequal amount.
The test tube was heated in a water bath for 10 minutes.
Appearance of brown precipitate confirms the presence of glucose in cold drinks.
OBSERVATON

1 COCA COLA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
2 SPRITE Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present

3 LIMCA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
4 FANTA Reddish Brown Precipitate Glucose Present
INFERENCE
All the samples give positive test for glucose with Fehling’s
solutions(A&B).Hence all the cold drinks contain glucose.
TEST FOR PHOSPHATE
Sample of each brand of cold drink was taken in a separate testtube and
ammonium molybdatefollowed by concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) was added to
it, the solution was taken heated and the color of the precipitate confirms the
presence of phosphate ions.
OBSERVATON

1 COCA COLA Canary-Yellow Phosphate Present
2 SPRITE Canary-Yellow Phosphate Present
3 LIMCA Canary-Yellow Phosphate Present
4 FANTA Canary-Yellow Phosphate Present
INFERENCE
All the soft drinks contain phosphate ions which are detected by thepresence
of phosphate when canary yellow obtained.

NaHPO4+12(NH4)2MoO4+21HNO3+3H  (NH4)3PO4.12MoO3+21HN4NO3+12H2O
TEST FOR ALCOHOL
Samples of each brand of cold drinks are taken in sample test tube and iodine
followed by potassium iodide and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is added to each
test tube. Then the test tube are heated in hot water bath for 30 minutes yellow colored
precipitate confirmed the presence of alcohol in cold drinks
OBSERVATON
1 COCA COLA Yellow Alcohol Present
2 SPRITE Yellow Alcohol Present
3 LIMCA Yellow Alcohol Present
4 FANTA Yellow Alcohol Present
INFERENCE
All the Brands of Cold Drinks Contain Alcohol.
CH3CH2OH +4I2+ 6NaOH CHI3 + HCOONa +5NaI +5H2O

TEST FOR SUCROSE
5 ml samples of each brand of cold drinks was taken in a china dish and heated
very strongly until changes occur. Black colored residue left confirms the presence of
sucrose in cold drinks.
OBSERVATON

1 COCA COLA Black Sucrose Present
2 SPRITE Black Sucrose Present
3 LIMCA Black Sucrose Present
4 FANTA Black Sucrose Present
INFERENCE
All the brands of cold drinks contain sucrose. But amount of sucrose varies in each
brand of drink. Fanta contained highest amount of sucrose.
RESULT
After conducting several tests, it was concluded that the different brands of
cold drinks namely
1. Coca cola
2. Sprite
3. Limca
4. Fanta
All contains glucose, alcohol sucrose, phosphate, ions and carbon dioxide.
All are acidic in nature. On comparing the pH value of different brands coca cola is
most acidic and limca is least acidic of all the four brands taken.
pH value of coca cola is nearly equal to disinfectant which is harmful for body.
CARBON DIOXIDE
Among the four samples of cold drinks taken –sprite has maximum amount
of dissolved carbon dioxide and Fanta hasminimum amount of dissolved carbon
dioxide.
CONCLUSION
DISADVANTAGES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Soft drinks are little more harmful than sugar solution. As theycontain
sugar in large amount which cause “diabetes”.
2. Soft drinks can cause weight gain as they interfere with the body’s natural
ability to suppress hunger feeling.
3. Soft drinks have ability to dissolve the calcium so they are also harmful
for our bones.
4. Soft drinks contain “phosphoric acid” which has a pH of 2.8. So they can
dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
5. For transportation of soft drinks syrup the commercial truck must use the
hazardous matter place cards reserved for highly consive material.
6. Soft drinks have also ability to remove blood so they are very harmful to
our body.
USES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Cold drinks can be used as toilet cleaners.

2. They can remove rust spots from chrome car humpers.
3. They clean corrosion from car battery terminals.
4. Soft drinks are used as an excellent ‘detergent’ to remove grease from
clothes.
5. They can lose a rusted bolt.
