I would use (P1/T1) = (P2/T2), substitute and solve for T2.
P1 = 1.248 atm
T1 = 273 + 24.8 = ?
P2 = 2.410 atm
T2 = ?
We don't need to worry about V because that doesn't change.
A pressurized can of paint contains a fixed mass of gas at an internal pressure of 1.258 atm at 24.8oC. Suppose the can is able to withstand an internal pressure of 2.410 atm before it explodes. At what temperature, in degrees Celsius, will this can explode? HINT: The can is a rigid container, that means the volume stays constant!
