Solution

Dear Student,

Aerated drinks is a supersaturated solution of carbon dioxide gas in water. At the higher pressure more carbon dioxide can dissolve in water than at atmospheric pressure. A bottle of aerated drink is filled at higher pressure to dissolve more amount of CO₂ than normal limit. So, it is supersaturated solution of gas in liquid at high pressure.
