After this equilibration, what is now the new mole fraction of CO2 in the liquid soda?
As delivered to the consumer at 5 °C, a 1-liter bottle of soda contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water, with the carbon dioxide present at a mole fraction of 2.9 x 10-3 mole fraction (about 7 parts per thousand by mass). The Henry’s constant for carbon dioxide in water is 9.26 x 102 atmospheres/mole fraction at 5 °C. The pressure of the CO2 in the closed soda bottle is approximately 2.7 atm. The 1-liter soda is opened, and after a period of equilibration between the liquid soda and the gas phase adjacent to the open bottle, the CO2 partial pressure above the bottle is 0.25 atm. After this equilibration, what is now the new mole fraction of CO2 in the liquid soda?
