    I'll be having the kids evacuate the air out of 2-1/2 liter soda
    bottles filled to only 2 liters of 40 degrees Fahrenheit water and
    then thety will carbonate to about 30 psi but I don't know how many
    grams of CO2 that is.

    Where can I find that calculation given 100% partial pressure of CO2?

    1/2 liter of 30psi CO2 for 2 liters of H2O is not going to make very carbonated water, unless that 30psi is maintained for a significant
    time, like hours, unless broken into very fine bubbles as it is put into
    the bottles. For my corny kegs, I have to add CO2 many times over
    several days to get it properly carbonated, or I have to leave the CO2
    tank valve open for hours.

    1 liter at 30 psi is about 2 liters of CO2 at atmospheric pressure. Most
    of that pressure will go away by the time the CO2 is dissolved in the
    water.
