Question

Predict what will be observed in each experiment below. experiment predicted observation.

1. A student sees tiny bubbles clinging to the inside of an unopened plastic bottle full of carbonated soft drink. The student squeezes the bottle.

a. The bubbles will shrink, and some may vanish.
b. The bubbles will grow, and more may appear.
c. The bubbles won't change.
d. I need more information to predict what will happen to the bubbles.

2. A student has two unopened cans containing carbonated water. Can A has been stored in the garage () and can B has been stored in the fridge (). The student opens one can at the time, both cans make a fizz.

a. Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.
b. Can B will make a louder and stronger fizz than can A.
c. The fizz will be the same for both cans.
d. There is not enough information to predict which can will make the louder fizz.

Answer 1

The correct answer is -

1. a) The bubbles will shrink, some may vanish.

2. a) Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first question, it is given that the bottle is not opened and therefore, squeezing the bottle filled with a carbonated drink will increase the pressure on the carbonated liquid which forces the bubbles to dissolve or displace or vanish as it moves to empty space.

Thus, the correct answer would be - The bubbles will shrink, some may vanish

In the second question, there are two different conditions for two different unopened cans of carbonated water that are different temperatures one at the garage with higher temperature and one in the fridge at low temperature. As it is known that higher the temperature less will be solubility of gas in liquid so gas in can A will be less soluble which means it has more gas and it will make louder and stronger fizz than B which was stored at low temperature.

thus, the correct answer would be - Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.
