- It has a high pressure. (True)
- It has a low pressure. (False)
- It has a high temperature. (True)
- The temperature is unchanged. (False)
Reason: heating the sealed can raises the gas temperature; at roughly constant volume that increases the pressure (PV = nRT). Heating can also vaporize any liquid propellant, further increasing pressure and risk of rupture/explosion.
