)An Aeresol can with a volume of 325 mL contains gas at 445kPa at 12ºC. What volume would the gas occupy if it was allowed to escape at 101 kPa and 21ºC? (Answer is 1.5 x 10^3 mL) No matter what I try I can't get the answer right

V_2~~1500mlV21500ml

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law...

(P_1*V_1)/T_1P1V1T1 = (P_2*V_2)/T_2P2V2T2

Solve for V_2V2 ...

V_2=(P_1*V_1*T_2)/(T_1*P_2*)V2=P1V1T2T1P2

P_1=445"KPa"color(white)(xxxxxxxxxxxxx)P_2=101KPaP1=445KPa××××××xP2=101KPa
V_1=325mlcolor(white)(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)V_2=?V1=325ml×××××××xV2=?
T_1=(12+273)=285K"color(white)(xxxxxx)T_2=(21+273)=294KT1=(12+273)=285K×××T2=(21+273)=294K

V_2=(325ml*445cancel(KPa)*294cancel(K))/(101cancel(KPa)*285cancel(K))=1477ml~~1500ml
