The typical partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 0.0004 atm. In the small gas volume inside a bottle of a

carbonated beverage the pressure of the carbon dioxide is 2 atm (this varies widely). What is the ratio of the concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the soda before opening (with 2 atm pressure) to post-opening when the carbon dioxide concentration has come to equilibrium with the carbon dioxide in the environment (gone flat)?

Answer:

The ratio is 1:5000

Explanation:

The high content of carbon dioxide in soda produces in consumer sensations of refresh and good tasting.

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

Thus, the ratio of carbon dioxide before opening to post-opening is:

0,0004 atm/2 atm= <em>5000</em>
