c). Because it was bottled under high pressure and the atmospheric pressure is less. Carbon dioxide only dissolved at lower than normal pressure.

Respuesta :

Because it was bottled under high pressure and the atmospheric pressure is less. Carbon dioxide only dissolves at higher than normal pressure.

EXPLANATION:

Soda water, like other carbonated beverages, contains carbon dioxide that has dissolved under pressure. When the pressure is released by opening the soda container, the liquid cannot hold as much carbon dioxide, so the excess bubbles out of the solution.
