Question

Correct Applications of the gas laws are part of everyday life, such as the movement of our diaphragm, which allows us to breathe, as well as research, such as for rocket propulsion systems Part B Aerosol cans have a label that warns the user not to use them above a certain temperature and not to dispose of them by the furnace where the temperature reaches the boiling point of water, what is the pressure inside the can? Express your answer with the appropriate units. propellant. For example, the residual pressure in a can is 1.51 atm when it is sitting on a shelf at 23··if he can is placed on top of incineration. Even an empty can View Available Hint(s) Value Units Submit Next > Provide Feedback VN0 19 18 FT

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

From Ideal gas law, PV=nRT

Where P=pressure, V=volume, n=number of moles of gas, R=universal gas constant and T=temperature.

In the given problem, pressure is dependent on temperature.

Volume and n are constants.

So P is directly proportional to temperature T

P1/T1=P2/T2

Given P1=1.51 atm, T1=23°C.

When the can is placed on top of furnace, the temperatures is boiling point of water. T2=100°C, P2=?

1.51atm/23°C=P2/100°C

P2=(1.51 atm x 100°C)/23°C

P2=6.565 atm.

The pressure inside the can is 6.565 atm.
