Question

An aerosol can contains gas under a pressure of 2.0 atm at 20°C. Directions on
the can say that the can should be kept at less than 65°C. What would the
pressure in the can be at 65 °C?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume is the same in both cases so the formula is

P1/T1 = P2/T2

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293 You have to convert Celcius to degrees Kelvin.

T2 = 65 + 273 = 338 degrees Kelvin

P1 = 2.0 atmospheres.

2.0 / 293 = P2/ 338

2*338 / 293 = P2

P2 = 676 / 293

P2 = 2.31 atmospheres
