The volatile composition of a planet is determined by the inventory of gasand ice in the parent disk. The volatile chemistry in the disk is expected toevolve over time, though this evolution is poorly constrained observationally.We present ALMA observations of C18O, C2H, and the isotopologues H13CN, HC15N,and DCN towards five Class 0/I disk candidates. Combined with a sample offourteen Class II disks presented in Bergner et al. (2019b), this data setoffers a view of volatile chemical evolution over the disk lifetime. Ourestimates of C18O abundances are consistent with a rapid depletion of CO in thefirst ~0.5-1 Myr of the disk lifetime. We do not see evidence that C2H and HCNformation are enhanced by CO depletion, possibly because the gas is alreadyquite under-abundant in CO. Further CO depletion may actually hinder theirproduction by limiting the gas-phase carbon supply. The embedded sources showseveral chemical differences compared to the Class II stage, which seem toarise from shielding of radiation by the envelope (impacting C2H formation andHC15N fractionation) and sublimation of ices from infalling material (impactingHCN and C18O abundances). Such chemical differences between Class 0/I and ClassII sources may affect the volatile composition of planet-forming material atdifferent stages in the disk lifetime.
