How does the gas on top of the liquid in an aerosol can cause the liquid to come not the spray nozzle?

Because the air in the can is being compressed, it can expand quite a bit when given the mean to. So when you press down on the nozzle, the air expands, pushing the liquid out.

(depending on the size of the stain) NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then u just put it in ur washing machine at the warmest temperature that the fabric can go in. easy as that. U know, if u just read the bottle, then u could have saved me a heck of a lot of time. thx.
How is streak and spray alike and different?
The words "spray" and "streak": Are similar in the way that both end up covering a surface with a liquid source. Are different in the way that both streams cover the surface. A "spray" will cover the surface in the form of small drops of fluid while the "stream" will cover the surface with one continuous stream of that fluid.
Does nitrogen change from a liquid to a gas at the same temperature at which water changes from liquids to a gas?
No it can not, their boiling points are vastly different.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, yes but the change will be explosive.If you poured liquid nitrogen into boiling water, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.If you poured boiling water into liquid nitrogen, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.Please don't try this, you will be severely injured!!!!!!
Uses of compressed gas?
compressed gas is used on rockets such as the space shuttle.answer2 Compressed gases are used widely. The pressurized canisters for inhalers, room fresheners, deodorant spray, hair spray, spray painting, as an air blast for removing dust, and many others. The air in your car tyres is a compressed gas and it gives you a smoother ride.

It would be quite spectacular I think. The vacuum would cause the can to explode.

What are aerosol colloids?
A colloid refers (it seems) chiefly to a liquid. As an aerosol is defined as a particulate (solid or liquid) suspended within a gas, this it isn't a relevant question with regards aerosol science. However colloids do exist within an aerosol spray, however once they are dispensed they become an aerosol.
What is an aerosol?
An aerosol is a colloid of fine solid particles or liquid droplets, in air or another gas.
What is the gas in aerosol cans?
The aerosol-can uses compressed gas as a propellant.Since the product is liquid at room temperature, it is simply poured in before the can is sealed. The propellant, on the other hand, must be pumped in under high pressure after the can is sealed. When the propellent is kept under high enough pressure, it doesn't have any room to expand into a gas. It stays in liquid form.When the button is pressed the pressurized gas pushes the liquid product, as well as some of the liquid propellant, up the tube to the nozzle. Some cans, such as spray-paint cans, have a ball bearing inside. If you shake the can, the rattling ball bearing helps to mix up the propellant and the product, so the product is pushed out in a fine mist.Up until the 1980s, a lot of liquefied-gas aerosol cans used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant. After scientists concluded that CFCs were harmful to the ozone layer, 70 nations signed the Montreal Protocol, an agreement to phase out CFC use over the next decade. Today, almost all aerosol cans contain alternative propellants, such as liquefied petroleum gas, which do not pose as serious a threat to the environment.
