Le Châtelier’s principle is applied in the bottling of carbonated soft drinks. You are probably familiar with the “hissing” or “popping” sound of opening of either an aluminum soda can or plastic bottle. This occurs by adding carbon dioxide to water to produce carbonic acid in a reversible reaction, which is shown below: H2O(l) + CO2(g) <> H2CO3(aq) As you may have known, these beverages are bottled under increased pressure, placing stress on the equilibrium. Following Le Châtelier’s principle, the system shifts to the right to reduce the stress, in response to the increase in pressure. When the bottle or can is opened, the pressure is reduced. This reaction favors the reactants, thus shifting the system to the left, and CO2 gas forms and comes out of the solution. Question # 8 :You open a can of Coca-Cola and you pour it into a glass with ice. You notice that the soda is very fizzy and quite effervescent. What do you think is responsible for this? Group of answer choices A. H2O formation under pressure. D. Release of H2O as a result of opening the can. B. H2CO3 formation under pressure. C. Release of CO2 as a result of opening the can.

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. that is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (you can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. > cacl2(aq) + h20(l)
