Carbonated beverages have long provided chemical educators and other teachers of science with an easy-to-obtain system that connects to several physicochemical concepts. For example, many educators have devised experiments to determine the pressure of CO[subscript 2] contained in commercial carbonated beverages, but the role of temperature in such measurements has not been explored in detail. The experiments presented here describe a simple way to measure the pressure of CO[subscript 2] in carbonated beverages, and how to convert such pressures measured at different temperatures to a standard value so that comparisons of measurements obtained at different temperatures can be made. The results provide insights into other experiments that involve carbonated beverages.
