Propane gas is used as a propellant in aerosol cans.

a. Suppose a 455 mL container contains propane gas at a pressure of 1.75 atm at 25.0 oC. How many grams of propane are in the container?

b. If the can in part a is cooled to 5.0 oC and an additional 10.0 grams of propane is added to the can, what is the pressure of the propane gas? How does this pressure compare to the original pressure in part a? Whose law(s) explains this change and use the postulates of Kinetic Molecular Theory to explain the change.

c. If all the propane in the original can (as described in part a) were transferred to a balloon at STP, what volume would the propane occupy? How does this compare the original conditions in part a? Explain in terms of Kinetic Molecular Theory and gas laws.

d. The can in part a says that it can handle a pressure of 5.00 atm without bursting. What is the maximum mass of propane the can is able to hold before bursting? Whose law describes the relationship and explain the change using Kinetic Molecular Theory.

e. The can in part a says that it can handle a pressure of 5.00 atm. What is the maximum temperature to which the propane can be heated to without bursting.
