Question

Aerosol cans carry clear warnings against incineration because of the high pressures that can develop if they are heated. Suppose that a can contains a residual amount of gas at a pressure of 755mm Hg and a temperature of 25 C. What would the pressure be if the can were heated to 1155 C?

Step 1

The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15. So, the initial temperature T1 is 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K and the final temperature T2 is 1155°C + 273.15 = 1428.15 K. Show more…
