Describe what happens to a can of carbonated soda when it is left in a hot car. Be sure to explain the relationship between the number of molecules, temperature, pressure, and volume.

I know how temperature is related to all of the above but I am not sure if the conditions will change since nothing is constant...

Volume is constant until it is opened (and why does it fizz with explosive force)
V=k*Temp/pressure
so as temp goes up, pressure goes up by the same percentage. Now that is for the gas above the liquid.
In the liquid, the stability of the gas dissolved in the liquid is inversley proportional to temp, as temp goes up, stability (and solubulity) goes way down, thus, when pressure is releived (opening up), much gas goes out of solution...fizz...
So should I write that as the temp increases, pressure decreases and that volume & number of moles stay constant ...?
