Suppose the total pressure in a bottle of soda water before itis opened is 40 psig(http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/SeemaMeraj.shtml) and that thegas mixture is 75% CO2 and 25% other gases. The temperature is10°C. The Henry’s Law constant is 0.104x104 atm.
a) If the system is in equilibrium, how much CO2 is dissolved inthe soda? (For this problem,ignore reactions between the CO2 andthe water.) I know the answer is about 6500 mg/L but I'mhaving trouble finding the steps to get there!
b) Calculate the new equilibrium concentration when the bottleis opened. The volumetric fraction of CO2 in the normal atmosphereis 358 ppmv. Knowing this, explain why the CO2 acts as it does whenthe bottle is opened.
PLEASE ANSWER BOTH PARTS OR I WILL NOT \"THUMBS UP\" YOUR ANSWER!
