Question 5 • HCISD-Integrated Physics and Chemistry A-CR SUMMER

A 1-L soda bottle contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas. Which bottle would have the highest concentration of dissolved gas?

Answer
A
a bottle that is sealed
B
a bottle that was opened 1 minute ago
C
a bottle that was opened 1 hour ago
D
a bottle that was opened 1 day ago

Explanation

A sealed bottle keeps the carbon dioxide under pressure, which helps more gas remain dissolved in the soda. Once opened, the pressure drops and carbon dioxide gradually escapes, so bottles left open longer have lower dissolved-gas concentrations. Therefore, the sealed bottle has the highest concentration.
