carbon dioxide bubbles of soft drink, when the can is opened?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the carbonic acid in the soda is in equilibrium when the can is unopened at a much higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide than the atmosphere has

OpenStudy (rane):

not exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you clarify your question?

OpenStudy (rane):

thats all wht I'm given.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaa the solubility of CO2 in soft drink will be low at room STP condition , to increase its content in soft drink we have to dissolve it more so this can be done by applying pressure. when can is closed- the CO2 is dissolved in soft drink by applying pressure. the moment you open the can , the pressure will be released so whatever CO2 was dissoved in soft drink due to pressure will baubles out :)
