A gas cylinder can withstand a pressure of 15 bar. The pressure gauze indicates 12 bar at `27^(@)C`. IF the building catches fire suddenly. At what temperature will the cylinder explode ?

Explanation

`P_(1) = 12 " bar "P_(2) =` bar
`T_(1) = 273 + 27 = 300 K " "T_(2) = ?`
`(P_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2))/(T_(2)) " "T_(2) = (P_(2) xx T_(1))/(P_(1)) = (15 xx 300)/(12)`
Temperature at which cylinder explodes = 375 K = `102^(@)C`
