The gas above the liquid in a sealed bottle of soda is primarily carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide is also dissolved in the soda.When the distribution of carbon dioxide between the gas and liquid is at equilibrium, molecules of carbon dioxide in the gas phase can still dissolve in the liquid phase if they strike the surface and are captured.Similarly, molecules of carbon dioxide can escape from the liquid phase.What is the entropy change of the universe, Suniv, for the dissolution of carbon dioxide under these conditions?
A) ( Suniv is less than 0 because the dissolved carbon dioxide has fewer accessible states.)
B) ( Suniv is greater than 0 because the dissolved carbon dioxide has fewer accessible states.)
C) ( Suniv equals 0 because this is an equilibrium situation.)
D) ( Suniv is less than 0 because the gas dissolves spontaneously.)
E) ( Suniv is greater than 0 because the gas dissolves spontaneously.)
