mixing vinegar and soda produces CO2 among other items.  How can I calculate the pressure produced if I let the reaction proceed in a sealed container.  I can do the mole calculations but I know that some of the CO2 will dissolve in the water.  How does this dissolved gas affect the pressure?

Think it out.  If you have a certain amount of gas enclosed in a chamber with liquid, and some of that gas is taken out of the gas phase by a liquid, will there be more or less gas in the bottle?  Does this translate to more or less pressure?  At any rate, the dissolved gas should be pretty negligible.  Oh, and don't blow yourself up.

I don't want to blow myself up.  I was hoping to get a reference of some sort that might relate the pressure of CO2 to the amount that would be disolved in a certain amount of water.
