PepsiCo makes a variety of different beverages. Some are more prominent than others, and Diet Mountain Dew is one of the more popular ones. “Diet Dew” is popular among people who still want a citrus drink like Mountain Dew but don’t want the calorie count associated with it. PepsiCo is an international company and has headquarters all over the world. Their main headquarters is located in Purchase, NY. The nutritional values of the drink vary based on the quantity of the drink. A 355mL can has 0 calories while a 500mL bottle has 5 calories. For the purpose of this paper, I am basing all information off of the 355mL can of Diet Mountain Dew. Diet Mountain Dew has many ingredients, but I selected only 5 for research. These include carbonic acid, …show more content…

It is used as the filler and is diluted with water to form carbonated water. Carbonated water is what gives the bubbly texture of the soda. Carbonic acid is remarkably hard to ignite and is commonly found in a white, powder form before dissolved into water. Carbonic acid on its own is not a very safe thing to ingest, and is a minor irritant. However, when diluted with water (about .2% carbonic acid) it is safe to drink up to several liters per 24 hour period. The pH level for carbonic acid is around 5.65, as it does vary per concentration. When mixed with water it rises to a much more neutral …show more content…

Citric acid is also a covalent compound. It is what gives the citrus flavor and gives a little bit of the texture to the drink. Citric acid is one of the more acidic items on the list, at a 1.72 average pH. It is also found in a powdery/crystalline form and is dissolved in carbonated water when making Diet Mountain Dew. Citric acid, because of its acidic properties, is one of the more dangerous items on the list. Aside from avoiding getting the ingredient in your eyes or coating your skin in it, you should avoid getting it in any cuts. While damage is not permanent, the reaction between the citric acid and your blood will be an incredibly painful sensation that is akin to your arm being on fire. Gloves, goggles, and a lab coat are recommended when handling basic reactions involving citric acid. The next ingredient is something I dare not pronounce, but is known as calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CaNa2C10H16N2O8), or EDTA. EDTA is an ionic ingredient used for flavor preservation. EDTA is often found in a powdered, crystal form, but can also be found as a stable liquid. EDTA in crystal form is hard to ignite, and is moderately toxic. On a toxicity note, EDTA is not to be consumed in quantities of over 3 grams a 24 hour period and should not be fed to animals. The pH level makes it fairly alkaline at

In chapter 6 titled “Carbon Monoxide (CO), Part 1” of The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum the most interesting story developed within the chapter was the death of Anna Fredericksen after inhaling carbon monoxide. It was interesting because the way the murder was convicted, it created the impression as if Francesco Trivia had cut her into pieces, making him look like a lunatic killer. As Gettler noted in his inquiry, “In each glass vessel, each ceramic dish, the bloody solutions, instead of turning the darkish grays of normal oxygenated blood, flamed that brilliant red. Her blood was saturated with carboxyhemoglobin.” (Blum 148).

I 've learned that sprite makes the most gas out of the other two sodas because sprite has citric acid in it and the pop rocks react more to the citric acid in the Sprite. Conclusion The project turned out the way it did because the Sprite has more citric acid in it when the other two sodas don’t have citric acid in them giving the sprite more gas to fill the balloon. Coca-Cola and Diet Coke didn’t react as much as the Sprite did because the the Coca-Cola and Diet Coke don’t have citric acid in them when the Pop Rocks react more with citric acid. I was surprised that the Sprite had the biggest amount of gas because it was a clear soda.

Matthew Ferguson BUSI 400 June 15, 2015 After reading 20 of the latest press releases from PepsiCo, that Pepsi is actually pursuing is product development, market development, and finally forward integration. Pepsi focuses on performing near and long term investments, having future plans on making global investments. The first strategy that Pepsi is pursing is product development, a strategy used by a company to increase sales by modifying or upgrading a product.

When sitting down drinking a diet soda people really don’t think about what makes diet soda diet. If food and drink companies put diet on front of something does that automatically make it beater or even good for the consumer? When making something diet companies usually go straight for the artificial sweeteners to drop the calories in a food or drink, and when people pick up the diet product off the shelf at the store and they automatically think its good or better for them because of just one little word added to the label. But is it really better for you or could these sweeteners be doing harm? Yeah it might help someone loose that one extra pound or help with fitting into that year-old pair of pants that someone has been just dyeing to

These chemicals can explode. When I gave my three-year-old son some cheese to eat, I did not know that I was giving him poisoned food. I was too stoned on meth to notice, until twelve hours later, that my son was deathly ill. But then I was so stoned it took me two hours to figure out how to get him to the hospital five miles away. By the time I got to the emergency room my boy was pronounced dead of a lethal dose of ammonia hydroxide—one of the chemicals used to make meth.”

The Effects of Acetic acid on Sodium Bicarbonate Introduction: Acids and bases are one of the main components of chemistry. They are both substances with unique chemical properties and can use them to neutralize each other. An acid is any substance that produces positively charged hydrogen ions when reacting to a solution containing water. However, a base is a substance that neutralises positively charged hydrogen atoms, which is the reason why an acid and base always form a salt and a water, In this experiment, sodium bicarbonate ( a base) will be combined with vinegar ( an acetic acid) to form Co2 bubbles.
