A spray can is used until it is empty except for the propellant gas, which has a pressure of \({\rm{1344 torr}}\) at \({\rm{23^\circ C}}\). If the can is thrown into a fire (\({\rm{T = 475^\circ C}}\)), what will be the pressure in the hot can?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Final Pressure (\({{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}\)) =\({\rm{3}}{\rm{.4 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{Torr}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Define pressure

The force applied perpendicular to an object's surface per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure.

Explanation

When there is a constant amount of gas in a closed and rigid container, Gay-Lussac's law (or the pressure law) states the relationship between the pressure and temperature of the gas.

The absolute pressure is exactly proportional to the temperature, according to Gay-Lussac's law.

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\rm{P}} \propto {\rm{T}}\\\frac{{\rm{P}}}{{\rm{T}}}{\rm{ = constant}}\\\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ = constant}}\\\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ = constant}}\\\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}\end{aligned}\)

\({{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}\),\({{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}\)are the initial and final pressures, respectively.

\({{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}\)and\({{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}\)are the initial and final absolute temperatures, respectively.

However, considering that temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius rather than kelvins (absolute scale).

As a result, we must convert temperatures from degrees Celsius to kelvins.

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\rm{0^\circ = (0) + 273}}{\rm{.15K}}\\{\rm{23^\circ = (23) + 273}}{\rm{.15K}}\\{\rm{ = 296}}{\rm{.15K}}\\\\{\rm{475^\circ = (475) + 273}}{\rm{.15K}}\\{\rm{ = 748}}{\rm{.15K}}\end{aligned}\)

The initial pressure (\({{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}\))=\({\rm{1344 torr}}\)

Final Pressure (\({{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}\)) =? torr

Temperature at the start (\({{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}\)) =\({\rm{296}}{\rm{.15K}}\).

The final temperature (\({{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}\)) = \({\rm{748}}{\rm{.15K}}\).

\(\begin{aligned}{}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}\\{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ \times }}{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{1344 torr \times 748}}{\rm{.15K}}}}{{{\rm{296}}{\rm{.15K}}}}\\{\rm{ = 3,395 Torr}}\\{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.395 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{Torr}}\\{\rm{or}}\\{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.4 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{Torr}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, final pressure is \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.4 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{Torr}}\).
