Unifizz Project
Temperature: ​45 degrees F. At a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit, water can
absorb up to 3 grams of Carbon Dioxide​*​. This means that if the user keeps water at, at
least around this temperature, the water will have no trouble soaking up the 2.00 g of
CO2 produced. Which is the amount necessary to carbonate 250 ml of water, according
to the ratio of CO2 to water for perfect carbonation.

Volume: ​250 ml, this is about the average drinking glass size​*​ and facilitates the
amount of Carbon Dioxide produced.

Chemical equation(s):

Carbon dioxide needed: 2.00 g​*
