Aerosol cans carry clear warning of heating of the can. Why?
Answers
Solution :-
All aerosol cans carry a safety warning about not exposing them to direct sunlight or throwing them to fire. There are volatile liquids inside - often a LPG propellant. if these are heated, then they will produce more vapour inside the can, which will make the pressure rise very quickly. A temperature rise of 30° C can double the pressure inside. They will burst if the pressure goes up too far. A bursting aerosol can can be very dangerous. Except being volatile, the propellant or other contents could also be flammable.
So, aerosol cans carry a clear warning of heating the can because of the high pressure that can develop upon heating.
Answer:
Aerosol cans carry a clear warning of heating of the can because on heating the kinetic energy of particles increases and after collision with wall they create high pressure that can leads to explosion.
