As delivered to the consumer at 5 °C, a 1-liter bottle of soda contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water, with the carbon dioxide present at a mole fraction of 2.9 x 10-3mole fraction (about 7 parts per thousand by mass). The Henry’s constant for carbon dioxide in water is 9.26 x 102atmospheres/mole fraction at 5 °C. The 1-liter soda is opened inside of a closed 10-liter container of air, and, after a period of time, the CO2in the soda is at equilibrium with the CO2in the air. Calculate what portion of the CO2originally in the soda that has degassed from the soda and is in the air, if the air pressure in the closed container is 1 atm.
