You put two open cans of soda on the table. You took one can from the refrigerator and the other from your car. When you open them, which can of soda will lose the carbon dioxide more quickly and why?

the can from the refrigerator because there are more solute–solvent collisions

the can from the refrigerator because there are fewer solute–solvent collisions

the can from the car because there are more solute–solvent collisions

the can from the car because there are fewer solute–solvent collisions

Respuesta :

The correct answer from the choices given is the last option. The can from the  car will lose the carbon more quickly because there are fewer solute–solvent collisions. The can in the car has a lower temperature than the one in the refrigerator. At low temperature, the solubility of carbon dioxide in the liquid decrease therefore particles would tend to be in the vapor phase and escape from the liquid.
