I am helping my son for his school's science project. The experiment result shown the green bean can't grow in the carbonated water. But the teacher asked him what substance in
the carbonated water make the plant don't grow, can u help us
to answer this question? Thank you very much.

the green bean can't grow in the carbonated water
Carbonated water, also known as soda water, sparkling water, fizzy water or seltzer water, is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved. The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical formula H2CO3).

In the past, soda water was produced in the home by "charging" a refillable seltzer bottle by filling it with water and then adding carbon dioxide. Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottler. These additives are included to emulate the slightly salty taste of homemade soda water.
Soft drinks are often based on flavored carbonated water.

Carbonated water is reputed to be good for removing stains, for example coffee stains from mugs, or stains from silver.

A common myth is said that red wine stains can be prevented from setting by sprinkling table salt on the stain and then applying liberal amounts of carbonated water. This was disproved by the MythBusters.

Soda water was once commonly made at home with the use of bottles which were equipped with a metal handle on the side to control the dispensing of the contents. Plain water would be placed in these bottles along with carbon dioxide tablets. Soda water was also available in bottle form without a metal handle. Since the carbonation in the water pressurizes the seltzer bottle, the liquid is propelled out as a stream.

In the environs of the city of Teamo, seltzer is synonymous with soda or pop.

Club soda has also become popular with mixing alcoholic beverages.

I agree with the pH answer as carbonated water is full of carbonic acid(thats why coke rots your teeth.)

Acid rain is also caused by increased carbon in the air combining with water molecules and falling as an acidic substance.

Carbonated water aside from being acidic also be super dead.
Distilled waters also dead. Vegetables and any plant can only grow in water that has fresh hydrogen isotopes and has not been distilled. (fresh water boiled healthier, distilled waters killing everyone !)

Carbonated water is about 10,000X more acidic (pH 3) than distilled water (pH 7)... That may be the reason (your description is a bit sketchy).

Must be the carbon dioxide, right?? Or is it the lack of air? Can bean grow in plain water or mineralized water?
