An aerosol can is pressure vessel, that is the contents are at a higher pressure than the atmosphere. As such it is deigned to contain pressures up to a certain point. As it is heated the pressure increases because of the ratio of P=VT until the mechanical strength of the can is exceeded. It then ruptures (not explodes) allowing the contained material to expand. If the contents are a flammable liquid they may become a BLEVE or fireball of deflagrating material. Again this is not an explosion.

What happens to an aerosol can after the can is heated?
I think it is graph A, but I am not completely sure. If you are wrong, don't blame me! By the way, do you like crabs? Cause I do :D Btw, Graph A is the straight graph
Why is the heating of an aerosol can so dangerous?
Heating an aerosol can is dangerous because it can cause the temperature and pressure inside the can to increase rapidly. This can lead to the can exploding, releasing pressurized contents that can cause injuries or start a fire.
Do aerosol cans explode on airplanes?
no but my bottom does
Can an aerosol can explode on an airplane?
Yes, an aerosol can potentially explode on an airplane due to changes in air pressure and temperature. It is important to follow airline regulations and guidelines regarding the transportation of aerosol cans to prevent any safety hazards.
What happens when an aerosol freezes?
When an aerosol freezes, the propellant (usually a liquefied gas) inside the canister expands, which can cause the canister to rupture or explode. This can be dangerous and should be avoided by storing aerosols in a cool, but not freezing, environment.
Which product is most likely to explode if stored near a heater Hydrogen peroxide or Aerosol can or Liquid cleanser or a wine bottle?
it's the aerosol.
Can a can of aerosol explode if stored near heat?
yes because of the pressure
Why do aerosol cans have a do not incinerate morning?
If they still have propellant they will explode when incinerated.
Why not put an aerosol can in a hot area?
The conttens of an aerosole can are under the pressure of gas. That is how the can works. If you put it in a hot area, the gases with expand. This could cause the can to explode.
Why cannot aerosol cans cant be exposed to high temperatures?
Many aerosol cans use a propellant under pressure to disperse the contents of the can. These propellants are ofter flammable. If incinerated with some of this flammable propellant still in the can they would explode.
Why does the warning do not incinerate is needed on aerosol containers?
The warning "do not incinerate" on aerosol containers is important because aerosol products contain flammable propellants under pressure. If the container is exposed to high temperatures or flames, it can explode, causing serious harm to individuals and property. Following this warning helps prevent accidents and ensures safe handling of aerosol products.
Can an aerosol can blow up by lighting the nozzle?
Yes it can. It can also explode by painting a live electric outlet or two contact points where the aerosol becomes the connector and ignites. This can cause severe burns, blindness and further harm. Use caution and read label instructions.
