i) Which gas is dissolved in soft drinks?

ii) What will you do to increase the solubility of this gas?


i) Carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is dissolved in soft drinks. When we open a soft drink bottle we observe that lot of bubbles show up. They arise because carbon dioxide trapped inside soft drink bottle starts escaping out.

ii) To increase the solubility of carbon dioxide in soft drinks we can increase the pressure of the gas. The reason for increasing the pressure is that with the increase in the pressure, the solubility of a gas also increases.
