Why does carbonated water keeps it’s gas under pressure and loses it otherwise?
In: Chemistry
It’s always possible to dissolve a certain amount of other stuff into the water, but it’s pretty low for the carbon dioxide gas and it won’t feel “fizzy” that way. So the gas has been forced into water, much more than how much the water can take it normally. This isn’t natural, so the gas always wants to go out if it gets the chance. If you leave the bottle or the can open, that’s what happens. But if there’s outside pressure forcing it from doing that, it has no option than just staying in the water.
