 * THE STUDY OF SODA AND ITS PH LEVEL**

The purpose of this experiment was to see if the different type of soda affects the pH and if the temperature or amount of bubbles blown into the soda affects it. Soda contains an acid call phosphoric acid. This acid has different amounts in the soda causing it to be on different spaces in the pH scale. 100 mL of each type of soda was poured into a cup and the pH was measured with a pH probe. Overall, Coke has the highest pH level (most acid), so it is low down on the scale. Almost all the sodas except root beer and coke were very close together on the pH scale.
 * ABSTRACT **

Coke was the most acidic, orange soda was the second most acidic, sprite was the third most acidic, diet coke was the fourth most acidic and root beer was the least acidic. The temperature definitely affected the pH level (especially with heat). This study is important to the world; because some people may want to take better care of their teeth so, they would know after reading this study that they should drink more root beer and less coke. A good follow up experiment would be adding ingredients to it and seeing if it changes the pH level.
 * CONCLUSION **
