5) It is not safe to put aerosol canisters in a campfire, because the pressure inside the canisters gets very high and they can explode. If I have a 1.0 liter canister that holds 2 moles of gas, and the campfire temperature is 14000 C, what is the pressure inside the canister?

P = 2343.65 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of container = 1.0 L

Number of moles of gas = 2 mol

Temperature = 14000 °C

Pressure of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

14000+273.15 = 14273.15 K

by putting values,

P × 1.0 L = 2 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 14273.15 K

P = 2343.65 atm.L / 1.0 L

P = 2343.65 atm
