I doubt this will turn out to be useful, but would be happy to be proved wrong! It will be interesting to see the real-world weight changes anyway.

To empirically check the expected weight change you could take a known weight of sorb, eg 100g, place it in a CO2 atmosphere for a while to completely react, and weigh it again. (may get a bit hot in the process)
