Answer to Question #91131 in General Chemistry for the great

Question

explain how the carbon dioxide in the breadth that we exhale is the same as the carbon dioxide in carbonated drinks

Answer 1

Breathing is based on the reaction of respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6CO₂ + 6H₂O, so this is the way how CO₂ is produced in the human body. In carbonated drinks CO₂ is obtained from the reaction: H₂CO₃ = H₂O + CO_2. However, the nature of the product, physical and chemical properties are the same.
