Aerosol cans carry clear warnings against incineration because of the high pressures that can develop upon heating.

Suppose that a can contains a residual amount of gas at a pressure of 765 Torr and a temperature of 25 ∘C .

What would the pressure be if the can were heated to 1040 ∘C ?

I tried this answer and got 31824 torr. It says its not correct, it does want the answer in torr though. What am I doing wrong?

initial                                          Final

T1 = 25+273 = 298K                                     T2 = 1040+273 = 1313K

P1   = 765 torr                                                 P2 =

               P1/T1    =    P2/T2

                   P2     = P1T2/T1

                            = 765*1313/298   = 3370.62 torr

The pressure is 3370.62 torr >>>>answer
