Please help me with this!: Beverages such as pop and fizzy water are carbonated by dissolved CO2. Explain in detail why pop will go flat faster if the cap is left off a bottle compared to if the cap remains tightly in place. You May use diagrams if you wish.

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster (less dissolved CO2 in pop). If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat

Explanation:

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster. If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat.

Just some fun related concept:

A similar concept comes into play for the reason behind why pop tastes better in fridge then just keeping at normal temperature. This is because gases tend to have high solubility at cold temperatures thus CO2 is more readily dissolved in fridge than outside room temperature which is why it tastes great!

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.

you gotta add the following molecules so we can give u an answer
