  Carbonate is a bicarbonate of sodium and calcium, two of the most common minerals found in our bodies. It is a neutral, non-volatile substance that is made when organic substances combine. It is known to be a hard and softening agent, which is a major component in creating the popular carbonated drinks we know today. It is found in salt, freshwater, soda pop, fruit juices, wine, beer, and some foods such as pasta and rice. Carbonate can be dissolved in water or it can be solidified by being frozen. The majority of carbonated beverages are made with the use of carbonate, which makes it an alkaline solution.
