The Ideal Gas Law, which is
PV = nRT
In word; 'Pressure multiplied to Volume is equal to Moles multiplied to the Gas Constant multiplied to the Temperature. '
The fact that it is an aerosol can is indicative of the gas being under pressure.

Gas Laws and Aerosol Cans by pallavi pemmireddy. What is an aerosol? a substance enclosed under pressure and able to be released as a fine spray, typically by means of a propellant gas. examples: Febreeze, WD-40, Hair Spray Aerosols Boyle's Law: - adding pressure to the already pressurized can allows for liquid to come out. Prezi.

∙ 14y agoDue to basic gas laws, as any gas gets hotter, it takes up more volume. So, as the gas in the can gets heated up, it will expand. Since there is no extra space in the aerosol can, the can will build up pressure and if the pressure gets too high, it could burst.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoDon't really know if this is what your asking but P1/T1= P2/T2 should show how the pressure varies with temperature (V is left out because it's constant since the gas is trapped in an aerosol can). As the temperature rises the pressure rises and if it gets too high then the can explodes, which is why it should be stored in a cool place. There's also PV=nRT might be kind of hard to find moles (n) though.
the ideal gas law will provide a rough estimate for the P V T properties of the vapor in the cans.

From a legal perspective, in the United States, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) would govern the requirement to safely/properly store hazardous materials. The Code of Federal Regulations, which would apply, is 29 CFR 1910.

∙ 11y agoAerosol cans should not be overheated because the heat will cause the vapor pressure inside of the can to increase. When the vapor pressure increases, the can will burst.

∙ 15y agoStudies have proven that if aersol is left in a warm area frequently or in a extremely boing position once it will explode, i shoud know i am a scientist!

hurt it hurt it bad!
How have aerols affected the ozone layer?
Aerosol spray cans contain CFC's. There are hard ODS.
Why are you told not to throw aerosol cans into fires?
There are pressurised gases in the canister. The heat causes the canister to explode.

of course

according to the TSA policy, no aerosol cans are allowed. It doesn't specifically say airhorns but it should be implied. i.e. spray cans, lighter fluid cans, hair spray cans.

They don't have to be in a cabinet. Some people store there aerosol cans in hollowed out TV sets and some people bury them in the ground in treasure chests. I keep my aerosol spray cans in a locked box hidden in my attic, so they will never be stolen.
Who invented aerosol spray cans?
Erik Rotheim
