The bubbles in a carbonated soft drink are produced when carbonic acid decomposes to form carbon dioxide and water. in a closed system, this equilibrium exists as why does a carbonated soft drink lose carbonation when the container is left open? a. water evaporates, which favors the formation of h2co3. b. pressure decreases, which favors the formation of h2co3. c. the open container warms up, which causes more gas to escape. d. co2is removed, which favors the formation of h2co3.

The bubbles in a carbonated soft drink show up when carbonic acid (H2CO3) decomposes to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). In a closed system, this equilibrium exists as:

                                         H2CO3 ⇌ CO2+ H2O

B is the correct answer.

Carbonated drinks are sealed under high pressure so when a container is left open, pressure decreases which favors the formation of carbonic acid (H2CO3). It is weak acid which decomposes releasing CO2 in the form of bubbles.  

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
