I did an experiment in class where I measured over time the mass loss of 100 mL coke in a normal-150 mL-shaped beaker and another in a 250 mL conical flask. My aim is to investigate whether "surface area" or "shape of container" affects the rate of release of the carbon dioxide. My results show that the carbon dioxide in the coke within the 250 mL flask took a while to disperse into the surrounding. Any suggestions/chemical explanations (relating it to the molecular structure of carbon dioxide if possible...and perhaps the collisions between the air molecules and the carbon dioxide compounds) as to why this was the case?
