Based upon gas laws and KMT, explain why aerosol can have warning labels stating: "Do not incinerate! Do not expose to temperatures greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit."

Answer 1

Heating those cans (they are filled under pressure) will raise the pressure inside the sealed cans even higher and there is a risk that the can will not be able to sustain the pressure and will explode. Harm may be the result to bystanders/operator of the can. In addition, the contents of the can may be flammable which will potentially cause even more harm to bystanders AND to nearby building if they catch on fire.
