AI Thread Summary
Cooling a soft drink affects its solubles, particularly sugar and carbon dioxide. As temperature decreases, sugar may precipitate out of solution, while the solubility of gases like carbon dioxide decreases, leading to gas bubbles forming and potentially producing foam. The discussion raises questions about the imprecision of the question posed, particularly regarding the freezing point and the concentration of sugar. Participants express confusion about the expected outcomes of cooling a soft drink. Overall, the interaction between temperature and solubility of components in soft drinks is complex and warrants further exploration.

1. Temperature effects on Solubles

Alright, it's easy, but I'm not the brightest bulb and this question had me stumped. Choices in white are the ones I have a strong feeling of being wrong.

As temperature rises, solids generally become more soluble in water, but gases become less soluble. If a soft drink contains high concentrations of sugar and carbon dioxide, which of the following may be expected to happen if it is cooled down?


1. Sugar may precipitate out.
2. Gas bubbles may form and produce foam.
3. Water may evaporate rapidly.


  • A only
  • B only
  • A and B only
  • B and C only
  • A and C only

I don't see a, b or c... only 1, 2 and 3. Is this a trick question?
 
Maybe the question is imprecise. Possible thought is how does the sugar affect freezing point? Would sugar precipitate at the concentration used, or would the soft drink just freeze at its depressed freezing point?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
