Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to define a solution

The solution is defined as a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously.

Coke is an aqueous homogenous mixture of carbon dioxide, sugar, concentrate, etc The ingredient used in the production of coke are mixed in the right proportion and this make coke a homogenous solution

Temperature can affect the character of a coke. Carbonated soft drink tends to lose their fizz at high temperature. This is because as the temperature increases, the loss of carbon dioxide in the liquid will also increase.

Also, at high temperatures, the solubility of gases decreasese.
