Carbonated is an adjective that describes a substance, typically a beverage, that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas. This process, known as carbonation, occurs when carbon dioxide is dissolved under pressure in a liquid, creating bubbles or fizz. The resulting drink is referred to as carbonated, which means it contains carbon dioxide in its dissolved state.
Carbonation is commonly used in the production of soft drinks, sparkling waters, and certain alcoholic beverages to impart a refreshing, effervescent quality. This process is achieved by either injecting carbon dioxide into the liquid or by fermenting the liquid to create the gas naturally. The carbon dioxide gas dissolves in the liquid, forming carbonic acid which provides the tangy taste often associated with carbonated drinks.
When consuming a carbonated beverage, the carbon dioxide is released as the liquid comes into contact with air or is opened. This release of carbon dioxide creates the characteristic bubbles or fizz that can be seen and felt in the mouth.
The term carbonated can also be used to describe other substances that have been infused or saturated with carbon dioxide, such as certain fire extinguishers or bath bubbles. In these contexts, carbonated refers to the presence of carbon dioxide, which adds unique properties or characteristics to the substance.
Combined or saturated with carbon.
