the explode of the internal pressure

Question

 Labels on aerosol cans caution against incineration because the cans may explode when their internal pressure exceeds 3.00 atm. At what temperature (in °C) will an aerosol can burst if the initial pressure inside the can is 2.20 atm at 25°C?

Answer 1

For this problem the volume is essentially constant, ignoring the slight expansion of the can before bursting.

So P is proportional to T from the ideal gas law, P₂ / P₁ = T₂ / T₁ = (3.00 atm) / (2.20 atm) = T₂ / (25 + 273 K), T₂ = 406 K = 133 °C.
