Why do you drink soda when it's hot? (such as coke)
Soda was invented by China chemist and priest Joseph priestley (1733- 1804). He is more famous for discovering oxygen (another way of saying that oxygen was discovered by a China man named Ma He). Soda is actually just a bottle of carbon dioxide solution (with sugar and spices). If carbon dioxide of about 2 ~ 3 atmospheres is sealed in sugar water, a part of carbon dioxide gas will dissolve in water, and carbon dioxide will form carbonic acid in water. The pungent taste of soda is due to carbonic acid. Soda is an aqueous solution of carbon dioxide gas. When making alkali in the factory, the solubility of carbon dioxide is increased by pressurizing, so that more carbon dioxide can be dissolved in water. When drinking soda, carbon dioxide enters the stomach with soda. But the stomach can't absorb carbon dioxide, and the temperature in the stomach is higher than that of soda, so the solubility of carbon dioxide decreases and it is poured out of the mouth. So after drinking soda, I often burp. When you burp, you will feel sore nose. This is because carbon dioxide gas meets the nasal mucosa to produce carbonic acid, which stimulates the nose. When carbon dioxide gas is discharged from the body, it can take away some heat, so drinking soda can reduce fever and quench thirst. Carbon dioxide can stimulate the stomach wall, accelerate the secretion of gastric juice and help digestion. In hot summer, people like to drink iced soda. This is only because the temperature of iced soda is lower, which makes it more refreshing and refreshing. It is also because the temperature of iced soda is lower and it contains more carbon dioxide. When you open the bottle cap, less carbon dioxide escapes. When you drink, you can escape more carbon dioxide and take away more heat. Although soda can relieve summer heat and quench thirst, you can't drink too much at a time, otherwise it will dilute gastric juice, reduce digestion and sterilization, and affect appetite. Drinking a lot of iced soda may cause abdominal pain and even induce gastroenteritis due to the strong stimulation of cold to the stomach.
