A chilled carbonated beverage is opened and allowed to warm to room temperature. Will the pH change, and if so, how will it change?
A. loss of CO2 from the beverage (Henry's Law) will result in a decrease in the pH
B. dissolution of O2 into the beverage from the room air will cause the pH to increase
C. evaporation of water from the beverage will result in a decrease in [H3O+], so pH will decrease
D. dissolution of O2 into the beverage from the room air will cause the pH to decrease
E. loss of CO2 from the beverage (Henry's Law) will result in an increase in the pH
