Why is it important to not overheat compressed gases?

Answer 1

Compressed gases aregas particles that'stightly squished together in a container creating a high pressure environment. When you heat gas, it expands as it has more energy to move around. But when the gas is in a container, there's not much room to move. So you have these gas particles flying around faster and faster as you heat it more, andthere'snowhere for them to move, so pressure is building. Eventually the pressure becomes too high and the gas expands and explodes out of its container, which can be very dangerous.
