Answers:
In the 1770s, scientists made important progress in replicating naturally carbonated mineral waters!. Englishman Joseph Priestley impregnated distilled water with carbon dioxide!. Another Englishman, John Mervin Nooth, improved Priestley's design and sold his apparatus for commercial use in pharmacies!. Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman invented a generating apparatus that made carbonated water from chalk by the use of sulfuric acid!. Bergman's apparatus allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts

Gases aren't very soluble in liquids! However, increasing the pressure will increase the solubility!. Since soft drinks are initially under pressure (in the closed can) the solubility is increased!. However, as soon as the can is "popped" open, the pressure is reduced and the solubility decreases!. This means that some of the gas within the soda will come "bubbling" out! This is the "fizz" in fizzy drinks! !.!.!.and it is all due to the low solubility of of carbon dioxide in liquidsWww@FoodAQ@Com

Fizzy drinks contain Carbon Dioxide, not air, as such every carbonated drink adds to the problem of climate change, your fizzy drink is killing plancton and destroying the life quality of polar bears, choose a still alternative like wine or rain water whilst you canWww@FoodAQ@Com

Pressure keeps the carbon dioxide absorbed into the liquid, that is why you do not see the gas in the bottle!.

When you open the bottle, the pressure is reduced and the carbon dioxide frees itself from the liquid forming the bubblesWww@FoodAQ@Com

carbon dioxide gas is forced into the liquid for most fizzy drinks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
