A soda manufacturing company is experimenting with changing the taste of its product as the concentration of carbon dioxide changes. To track their results, they must determine how concentration changes with pressure. The concentration of CO2 under a partial pressure of 0.719 atm is 429.7 ppm. At what pressure (in atm) would the CO2 need to be so that the concentration of CO2 is 235.3 ppm at the same temperature

0.394 atm

Explanation:

Mathematically, when we increase the pressure of a gas, we are increasing its concentration and when we decrease the pressure, we are decreasing its concentration.l at same temperature

What this means is that pressure and concentration are directly proportional.

Representing concentration by c and pressure by p, we have;

P1/C1 = P2/C2

From the question;

P1 = 0.719 atm

P2 = ?

C1 = 429.7 ppm

C2 = 235.3 ppm

Now, we can rewrite the equation to be;

P1C2/C1 = P2

Substituting the values we have;

0.719 * 235.3/429.7 = 0.394 atm

3 1/4 %
