Question

a student has two unopened 33 cl cans containing carbonated water. can a has been stored in the garage (32 °c) and can b has been stored in the fridge (8 °c). the student opens one can at the time, both cans make a fizz.
○ can a will make a louder and stronger fizz than can b.
○ can b will make a louder and stronger fizz than can a.
○ the fizz will be the same for both cans.
○ there is not enough information to predict which can will make the louder fizz.

Explanation:

Carbonated drinks dissolve carbon dioxide gas under pressure. The solubility of gases in liquids decreases as temperature increases. Can A is stored at a higher temperature (32 °C), so it holds less dissolved CO₂ than Can B (8 °C). When opened, the excess CO₂ escapes as fizz; the can with more dissolved CO₂ (Can B) will release more gas, creating a louder, stronger fizz.

Answer:

B. Can B will make a louder and stronger fizz than can A.
