Gas Laws

Question 3 • LA-Chemistry A

Warning signs are sometimes placed on aerosol cans to prevent people from throwing them into a fire. What is true about the gas in the aerosol can after it is placed in a fire? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It has a high pressure.
B
It has a low pressure.
C
It has a high temperature.
D
The temperature is unchanged.

Explanation

Heating the aerosol can in a fire raises the gas temperature. Because the can is sealed, the gas cannot expand freely, so its pressure increases as its temperature rises. Therefore, the gas has high pressure and high temperature; its temperature is not unchanged.
