Converting to mols given pressure and volume...?
« on: November 01, 2012, 04:48:52 PM »
Carbonated sodas are typically packaged under a CO2 pressure of 5 bar. Calculate the number of mols of CO2 dissolved (in the form of H2CO3) in a 2.00 L bottle of soda.

We are told that:
CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3
Keq = 0.036

I know pv=nRT, but the temperature is not given in this problem. Do I just assume room temperature...or is there some other way to do this problem that I'm missing?

Can you write expression for the equilibrium constant?

Are you supposed to assume the temperature is constant or have you been taught STP?
