the pressure is proportional to the absolute (Kelvin) temperature
(576 + 273) / (20 + 273) = p / (1 atm)
An empty aerosol-spray can at room temper mature (20°C) is thrown into an incinerator where the temperature reaches 576°C. If the gas inside the empty container was initially at a pressure of 1 atm, what pressure did it reach inside the incinerator? Assume the gas was at constant volume and the can did not explode. Answer in units of atm.
