AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the temperature at which the LPG cylinder will explode, we can use the gas law equation, which states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume, the ratio of pressure to temperature is constant. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Values - Maximum pressure the cylinder can withstand (P) = 14.9 atm - Current pressure (P1) = 12 atm - Initial temperature (T1) = 27°C ### Step 2: Convert the Initial Temperature to Kelvin ...
