Solution Summary

In about 190 words, this solution shows how to tell if the pressure exerted in a metal tank will burst. This has been computed by using the Ideal Gas Law. All calculations are included.

Solution Preview

It's important to clearly set your values before you start, and have them in the correct units. You have to use the "perfect gas law" pV=nRT in this case. Don't forget to convert pressure (p) into kPa, volume (V) into liters, and temperature (T) into Kelvin. Remember, R is ...
