2. An aerosol spray can with a volume of 250 mL contains 2.30 g of propane gas C3H8 as a
propellant. (a) If the can is at 23 °C, what is the pressure in the can? (b) What volume would the
propane occupy at STP? (c) The can’s label says that exposure to temperatures above 130 °F
may cause the can to burst. What is the pressure in the can at this temperature?
