A 300mL sealed spray can containing insect spray is kept outside at a temperature of 15°C. It is
accidentally dropped into a campfire, causing the
temperature inside the can to quickly rise to
99°C. What effect does this have on the volume
of the gas inside the can?
a. Identify the law to be used:
b. Solve the problem:



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The warning on the can about storing at high temperatures serves to prevent pressure increase, and using the ideal gas law, we can calculate the new pressure when the can is exposed to higher temperatures.


Explanation:

Predicting Change in Pressure with Temperature

(a) The warning on the can advises not to store at high temperatures to prevent pressure increase and potentially bursting due to rising temperatures. High temperatures can cause gas expansion and pressure elevation.

(b) Using the ideal gas law, where PV = nRT, with the initial conditions given, the new pressure in the can at 50°C in the car can be calculated to determine the effect of the temperature change on gas pressure.
