Answer:

Cola is a substance with high acidity, so it is added sweetener.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cola is a common substance in soft drinks. It is an acidulant substance, as it is composed of phosphoric acid and carbonic acid, creating a highly acidic environment in the drink, mainly due to the phosphoric acid account. As acidic knowledge is not pleasant to drink, a large amount of sugar is added to neutralize the acidity of the cola and ensure a more pleasant taste to the consumer.
