Gas Solubility: How it enables the production of carbonated drinks and its harsh effects on scuba divers
Solubility is the maximum amount a solute can dissolve in a certain amount of solvent. Carbonation occurs when pressurised carbon dioxide is injected and dissolved in water. The solubility of a gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solution. If there is a greater pressure in the space above the solution or on the solution, there will be a greater solubility of the gas dissolved in the solution. This trend is what the carbonati

The Chemistry Behind Methanol Intoxication
Did you know that ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), is the psychoactive compound present in beer, wine, and spirits consumed globally? It is produced by yeast-mediated fermentation of sugars and plays a significant role in social and cultural practices. Although ethanol intoxication primarily impairs the central nervous system, its metabolic processing in humans is comparatively safe. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, which is rapidly
