Question

A discarded spray paint can contains only a small volume of the propellant gas at a

Answer 1

Answer:

1.24 × 10³ kPa

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 34.5 kPa

• Initial volume of the can (V₁): 473 mL

• Final pressure of the gas (P₂): ?

• Final volume of the can (V₂): 13.16 mL

Step 2: Calculate the final pressure of the gas in the can

If we assume that the gas in the can behaves as an ideal gas and that the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the final pressure of the gas using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

P₂ = P₁ × V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 34.5 kPa × 473 mL / 13.16 mL = 1.24 × 10³ kPa
