Question

Explain, using what you have learned in this chapter, why it

is not wise to place an aerosol can near a heat source.

Answer 1

You should never throw an aerosol can onto a fire or leave it in direct sunlight – even if it is empty. This is because the pressure will build so up so much that the can will burst (and explode if there is a naked flame nearby). There are two reasons for the pressure going up:

the gas pressure increases

more of the liquefied propellant turns into a gas.

Let's look at these in more detail.
