Consider a carbonated drink in a bottle at $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 115 kPa. Assuming the gas space above the liquid consists of a saturated mixture of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and water vapor and treating the drink as water, determine ( $a$ ) the mole fraction of the water vapor in the $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ gas and $(b)$ the mass of dissolved $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in a $300-m 1$ drink.

Key Concepts

Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium

This concept involves the dynamic balance that exists between a liquid and its vapor when they are in contact. At a specified temperature, the rate at which molecules leave the liquid to form vapor equals the rate at which vapor molecules condense back into the liquid, resulting in a fixed vapor pressure. This equilibrium is crucial for understanding how saturated vapor (like water vapor above a liquid) behaves and how its pressure is determined by temperature.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton's Law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressures of each gas. This principle allows one to calculate the mole fraction of a gas in a mixture by dividing its partial pressure by the total pressure, making it essential for analyzing gas compositions such as determining the proportion of water vapor in a gas mixture.

Henry's Law

Henry's Law describes the proportional relationship between the concentration of a gas dissolved in a liquid and the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. This law is used to calculate how much of a gas, such as carbon dioxide, will dissolve in a liquid under a given pressure, providing the connection between gas pressure and solubility, which is key when assessing the amount of dissolved CO2 in beverages.
