Use the combined gas law or ideal gas equation please

Question

It is not safe to put aerosol containers in a campfire because the pressure inside gets very high and they can explode. If a 1.00 liter canister holds 2.00 moles of gas and the temperature of the campfire is 1400 degrees Celcius, what is the pressure inside the canister? - Show Work

Answer 1

Use:

 

PV = nRT

 

P = pressure

 

V = volume = 1.00 L = 0.00100 m³

 

n = 2.00 moles

 

T = absolute temperate = (1400 + 273) K = 1673 K

 

R = universal gas constant = 8.31 J / (mole K)

 

P = nRT / V = (2.00 moles) [8.31 J/(mole K)] (1673 K) / (0.00100 m³)

 

P ≅ 2.78 x 10⁷ N/m²
