Timeline for I tested the effect of temperature on the pH of carbonated water but the results seem to go opposite to what was expected. Could anyone explain?

The easy possibilities are that the system is not equilibrated, reversing the order might detect that, the closed tube is bothersome. Try to find a way to work at constant pressure. The prepared 4 and 7 buffers have the temperature pH on the bottle; calibrate at the temperature and do not use the ATC probe. Record the millivolt values to ensure the probe is responding properly. Use a combo electrode with a flowing junction not a gel filled. you disagreed with the lit. find out why!

Because we tested three trials for each temperatures and they all matched up, and the overall data made what would have been the correct trend except going in the opposite direction
