P1/T1 = P2/T2 or
P1*T2 = P2*T1
T1 = 27 C = 273 + 27 = 300 kelvin
T2 = ? K
P1 = 30 lbs/in^2
P2 = 90 lbs/in^2
Substitute and solve for T2 in kelvin.

The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 27 C and a pressure of 30 lbs/in^2. If the gases in the can reach a pressure of 90 lbs'in^2, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised to in order for the can to explode? Assume constant volume. (630 degrees C) The answer is 900K. Show your work to solve the problem.
