Question
Explain why:
Effervescence is seen on opening a bottle of soda water.

Solution
Carbon dioxide is dissolved in soda water under pressure. On opening the bottle, the pressure on the surface of water suddenly decreases; therefore, the solubility of CO2 in water decreases and the gas rapidly bubbles out.
