Density of Carbonated Liquids There is this new kind of drink on the market called "Orbitz." It is a clear juice (not carbonated) with these little gel-like balls floating around inside of it. I know this works because the juice and balls are the same density. I was wondering if it would be possible to make this work with carbonated beverages. Would the extra air inside of it make a difference in its density? If the air inside does affect the density, then wouldn't it be impossible to keep the balls suspended in the liquid constantly? If you poured it out into a glass and the fizz came out, wouldn't the liquid's density increase cause the balls to float on top of it? Just curious. Thanx
