Question

A "fizz saver" pumps air under pressure into a soda bottle to keep gas from escaping. will this keep co2 in the soda bottle? explain your answer.

Answer 1

A fizz saver forms an airtight seal around the now-upsidedown soda bottle, and the pressure exerted by the drink and the atmospere outside pushes out the drink through the slightly-elevated spout. The CO2 gas does not fizz out because it stays at the bottom of the upside-down bottle. Thus the CO2 gas is trapped and the drink is carbonated at a longer time.
