Why is gas filled under high pressure while making carbonated drinks?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: So that more gas dissolves in the liquid
Carbon dioxide is introduced into the beverage at high pressure because the solubility of a gas in a liquid increases with its partial pressure at constant temperature. The pressure helps retain a larger amount of CO₂ in the sealed drink. When the container is opened, pressure falls and some CO₂ escapes as bubbles, producing fizz. The other effects are unrelated.
