the concentration of CO2 in the headspace I mean sorry for the confusion
@doug293cz knows gasing laws.....if this is carbonated water...well anyway....i'd let it sit after weighing it, open it to see how many grams it loses.. calculate co2 that way....
The CO2 volume in the headspace is equal to the headspace volume. All gases expand to completely fill their enclosing container. If you have a mixture of gases in the headspace, and there are different amounts of each gas, the volume of each is the equal to the volume of the headspace, and the total volume of all the gases combined is also equal to the headspace volume. That's a fundamental property of gases.For example if I want to measure the CO2 volume in the headspace of a 500mL bottle of carbonated water? How can I do that? Thanks in advance
You can estimate the full weight with water.
true dat!If you measure the full weight with water, and thus know how much the water weight is (after subtracting the tare weight), you can calculate what the (full) beer weight would be by multiplying the water weight by the beer's specific gravity. It may not make much difference, but if you're going to all the trouble anyway, it's an easy added step.
