If you open one bottle of soda in a sealed room whose volume is 1,000 ft3, and another in a room whose volume is 5,000 ft3, which one would fizz more? Why?

Answer: A sealed room whose volume is 1,000 ft3, will fizz more than a room whose volume is 5,000 ft3

Step-by-step explanation:

The fizzing of soda is due to the internal pressure experienced by the carbondioxide inside the soda. The fizz that bubbles up when you crack open a can of soda is carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Soft drink manufacturers add this tingling froth by forcing carbon dioxide and water into your soda at high pressures

If this is opened in two different rooms of different volumes, there must be a difference in pressure too. Because volume is proportional to pressure.

Actually, the fizzing of soda depends on temperature.

A sealed room whose volume is 1,000 ft3, will have higher pressure than a room whose volume is 5,000 ft3

We can therefore conclude that :

A sealed room whose volume is 1,000 ft3, will fizz more than a room whose volume is 5,000 ft3
