Chapter 12, Problem 137P

(choose chapter or problem)

A student carried out the following procedure to measure the pressure of carbon dioxide in a soft drink bottle. First, she weighed the bottle (853.5 g). Next, she carefully removed the cap to let the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) gas escape. She then reweighed the bottle with the cap (851.3 g). Finally, she measured the volume of the soft drink (452.4 mL). Given that Henry’s law constant for \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) in water at 25°C is \(3.4 \times 10^{-2}\) mol/L · atm, calculate the pressure of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) in the original bottle. Why is this pressure only an estimate of the true value?
