Question

On all aerosol cans you see a warning that tells you to keep the can
away from heat because of the danger of explosion. What is the
potential volume of the gas contained in a 500.0 mL can at 25°C if it
were heated to 54°C. In other words if the can could expand to allow
the gas to take up a greater volume, what would be the new volume of
the gas when heated as previously described?

Answer 1

Gas laws show the relationship between tempertaure, pressure, volume, volume and number of moles. The new volume of the gas is 549 mL.

What is Charles law?

Charles law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure .

Given that;

V1 = 500.0 mL

T1 = 25°C  or 298 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 54°C + 273 = 327 K

Since;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = V1T2/T1

V2= 500.0 mL * 327 K/298 K

V2 = 549 mL
