In all carbonated beverages, CO2 is dissolved in the liquid portion of the drink

Question

In all carbonated beverages, CO2 is dissolved in the liquid portion of the drink under elevated pressure. There is always a space over the liquid containing pressurized CO2 that keep it dissolved in the liquid. Your job is to determine in atmospheres of the CO2 over the liquid in a carbonated drink can.

PV=nRT

(Can total weight=228.684g / can open weight= 228.504 / Tempertaure= 21 degrees C is 294.15 degrees K / 221 mL in can / 232 mL filled to the top / head space 11 mL)- info I calculated

Explanation / Answer

from PV=nRT

P= nRT/V, V= volume= 11ml=11/1000 L= 0.011 L, mass of CO2= 228.684- 228.504 =0.18gm, moles of CO2= mass/molar mass= 0.18/44= 0.0041, T= 294.15 K, P= 0.0041* 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K* 294.15/ 0.011 =9 atm
