An aerosol spray can with a volume of 250 mL contains 2.30 g of propane gas (C3H8) as a propellant.
If the can is at , what is the pressure in the can?
What volume would the propane occupy at STP?
The can says that exposure to temperatures above 130 ∘F may cause the can to burst. What is the pressure in the can at this temperature?

Step 1
a) moles of propane Volume Since
where Hence substituting the values will give Step 2
b) Since at STP,
moles calculated above Hence substituting the values in Step 3
c) Since moles Volume of can Since the relation between Temperature in and K is given by Hence,
Hence substituting the values in we get
