carbon dioxide bubbles of soft drink, when the can is opened?
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
does this answer your question?
can u help me again Peter14
not exactly
could you clarify your question?
thats all wht I'm given.
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 :)
