Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Carbonated Drinks**: Carbonated drinks, such as soft drinks and soda water, contain dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). These drinks are sealed in bottles or cans to maintain carbonation. 2. **Role of Pressure**: In the sealed containers, the carbon dioxide is under high pressure. This high pressure is a mixture of air and carbon dioxide gas. 3. **Henry's Law**: According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. This means that as the pressure of the gas increases, more of it can dissolve in the liquid. ...
