Chapter 13, Problem 39QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pressure on the soft drink applied by ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in the bottle is to be calculated. The condition of calculated pressure that is only an estimate of true value is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The solubility of gas depends on the pressure of the gas.

The relation between solubility and pressure of a gas is expressed as follows:

$c=kP$

Here, $P$ is the pressure of a gas, $k$ is the Henry’s constant, and $c$ is the concentration of the gas.
