If I add baking soda to lemon juice and water or use carbonated water is the carbon the same as the CO2 in the atmosphere? - eviltoast

I was thinking of making lemonade and was wondering if it would let CO2 into the atmosphere or not.

    oh sorry brain fart, replace ethanoic acid with citric, same difference really it’ll still be salty. I thought you meant adding vinegar and bicard like highschool science to make co2.

    If you want though you can generate the co2 that way separately and pump the gas into the lemonade. That’ll not ruin the flavour

      You can edit your comment if you’re so inclined.

      I appreciate all of this chemistry trivia ❤️

        Edit my comment? Erase my mistake?

        Tell me young one, can a man be unkilled? a lie untold? a promise unbroken?

        Nay, I have done a fell thing and shall wear the stain of it forever.

          I assumed you a chemist, what a blunder.

          Clearly you’re a warrior poet with a passion for chemistry.

            I’m actually the shards of what was once a bad physicist who dropped out of a PhD because they’re hard and I’m brittle.

            I should’ve done chemistry though, firstly because it is cool and involves more than crying at your desk, secondly because I would actually have a job, thirdly because if I didn’t have a job I could at least make some drugs to cope with the stress, and fourthly because if the government came for my coping drugs I could make bombs to throw at them till they left me alone.

              Nice, I dropped out of a poli sci degree for very similar reasons.

              On the bright side you don’t need a PhD to produce drugs and bombs, and those things might help with the whole desk crying conundrum.
