The sealed containers of fizzy drinks contain dissolved CO2. This dissolved CO2 is in equilibrium with a small quantity of gaseous CO2 at the top of the container. (a) The partial pressure of CO2 gas in a 250 cm3 can of fizzy drink is 3.0 atm at 25 0C. What is the concentration of CO2 in the fizzy drink? (b) If the can contain only the mass of CO2 calculated in part (ii) as a gas, calculate the pressure in the can when it is stored at 25 0C.  (c) The maximum pressure that a can of fizzy drink can withstand is 7 atm. Using the graph below, determine the maximum temperature at which a can, can be stored safely. (concentration=0.093M)

The sealed containers of fizzy drinks contain dissolved CO2. This dissolved CO2 is in equilibrium with a small quantity of gaseous CO2 at the top of the container.

(a) The partial pressure of CO2 gas in a 250 cm3 can of fizzy drink is 3.0 atm at 25 0C. What is the concentration of CO2 in the fizzy drink?

(b) If the can contain only the mass of CO2 calculated in part (ii) as a gas, calculate the pressure in the can when it is stored at 25 0C. 

(c) The maximum pressure that a can of fizzy drink can withstand is 7 atm. Using the graph below, determine the maximum temperature at which a can, can be stored safely. (concentration=0.093M)
