Yes, the pH of acid in coke is 4.8, which can also dissolve a tooth. Also a nail can rust in a matter of a couple of weeks.

I never tried it, but reports are that it will dissolve nails and iron (best if not galvanized).

Carbonated Beverages have carbon dioxide dissolved in them.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water (H2O) to form Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) which is a weak acid.

Coke may contain other acids too, Citric or Phosphoric Acid.

Since there is the carbonic acid, you would probably be best to keep the coke sealed during testing.

Note.

Your body also produces and has acids. Hydrochloric acid (HCl), a very powerful acid is produced by the stomach. And, the carbonic acid (H2CO3) mentioned above is utilized as part of the transport of carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs where the Carbon Dioxide is exhaled. There are even enzymes in the body to facilitate this process.

Coke does not dissolve nails.

I performed an experiment in duplicate with both galvanized and regular nails in coke, lemon juice, Orange Juice, and vinegar. I accurately weighed the nail before and after. In 4 days, the nails in the coke dissolved the least.

% loss in regular nail

  • Coke: 0.10%
  • Lemon Juice: 0.37%
  • Vinegar: 0.61%
  • OJ: 0.10%

% loss in galvanized nail

  • Coke: 0.86%
  • Lemon Juice: 8.76%
  • Vinegar: 7.09%
  • OJ: 5.89%

No, I don't think so that it will dissolve nail but it can clear the rust on it within 8 to 9 days as I read it somewhere in one of the article. You can also search it o Google or can watch it on YouTube, because these are the better options to solve your query, still you don't believe you can also make experiment on it by yourself so that you can study it properly.
