Question

a spray can is used until it is empty except for the propellant gas, which has a pressure of 1344 mmhg at 23 oc. if the can is thrown into a fire (T = 475 °C), what will be the pressure in the hot can?

Answer 1

The pressure in the hot can will be 27756 mmHg.

The spray can is used until empty and only the propellent gas is left.

The pressure of the gas is 1344 mmHg and the temperature is 23° C.

The can is thrown into the fire of temperature 475° C. The volume of the gas is constant.

Now, we can write the relation,

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₁ and T₁ are initial pressure and temperature while P₂ and T₂ are initial pressure and temperature

Now, putting values,

1344/23 = P₂/475

P₂ = 27756 mmHg.

So, the new pressure in the hot can will be 27756 mmHg.
