Question

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

Answer 1

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Answer 2

Answer:

sorry the other one is a very bad answer i just took the test so this should. good luck

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide in the head space above the liquid is at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure outside the can.

The gas is at a lower volume initially but suddenly has a larger volume available when the can is opened.

The change in pressure as the gas rapidly moves to become dispersed through its new volume causes the “whoosh” sound.

The gas law that applies is Boyle’s law.
