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

Answer 1

Since the volume is constant, he pressure would increase by a factor equal to the ratio of absolute temperatures, (1155+273)/(25+273).
