Less C02 dissolved as salt was added/ heat was applied in accordance with Le Chateleir's principle?

the can also weighs less after you heat it, showing that the c02 is no longer there. you dont need to use limewater or anything though

The aim of this experiment is to demonstrate that the carbonated unopened can will possess CO2 that escapes; thus reducing total mass while the water opened can experiences very little evaporation in the time provided. Thus, conclusion something along the lines of:

A carbonated drink possesses/releases X litres of CO2.
