A fairly simple way to make soda at home. Based on the simple dissolution of CO2 in water. To do this, we will build a CO2 generator. Its work is as follows: when vinegar interacts with soda, CO2 is released, then it passes into the second vessel and there it dissolves in our carbonated liquid. Just lies?
We will need: vinegar, soda, a couple of plastic bottles, a tube, a piece of napkin or toilet paper.
Here's what we did:
As can be seen from the figure, two bottles are securely connected by a tube. Please note that in the second bottle where our carbonated liquid will be poured, the tube goes all the way to the bottom, and in the first bottle where the reaction will take place, the tube slightly peeks out from under the cap.
We pour 100 - 150 ml into the first bottle. vinegar into our second liquid, which we will carbonate. Close the second bottle tightly.
Then we roll up a tbsp in our toilet paper. spoon of baking soda. This is done in order to add soda at once and not lose CO2
We throw it in and quickly close it.
The reaction begins! For better absorption of CO2 by the liquid, it is necessary to shake it and also to increase the reaction, shake the bottle with soda and vinegar.In short, it is better to shake both bottles alternately.
After some time, the reaction will end and you will have a soda made by yourself!
One of the Western companies even sells this device.
