Re: Can you carbonate a liquid with a 500 ml air tank?

I think you're good, but I would check it yourself using the universal gas law: pv=nRt. (pressure)(volume)=(amount in mols)(gas constant)(absolute temperature)

pressure=max pressure for your vessel (I know some of the tanks are 240psi, but check yours)
volume=500ml-100ml
n=.1
r=(depends on what units you use for everything else)
t=I would solve for this. This would be the temerature at which your vessel would reach its rated pressure.

I got that you'd need a temperature of like 800 kelvin to get up the rated pressure, but do the math yourself, and I know that I would stand behind a door or something if I knew somebody was going to try this.
