The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 27 C and a pressure of 30 kPa. If the gases in the can reach a pressure 90 kPa, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised in order for the can to explode?

Since the volume is constant but the pressure and temperature are changing, this is an example of Gay-Lussac's Law:

$color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a) p_1/T_1=p_2/T_2color(white)(a/a)|)))" "$

We can rearrange the above formula to get

$T_2 = T_1 × p_2/p_1$

Your data are:

$p_1 = "30 kPa"$
$T_1 = "(27 + 273.15) K" = "300.15 K"$
$p_2 = "90 kPa"$
$T_2 = ?$

$T_2 = "300.15 K" × (90 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kPa"))))/(30 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kPa")))) = "900 K" = "627 °C"$

The new temperature is 627 °C.

A breathing mixture used by deep sea divers has a total pressure of 101.4 kPa and contains hellum, oxygen and carbon doxide. What is the partial pressure of oxygen if $P_(He) = 82.5 kPa$ and $P_(CO_2) = 0.4 kPa$?

And so $P_(O_2)=P_"Total"-P_(He)-P_(CO_2)$ $={101.4-82.5-0.4}*kPa$ $=18.5*kPa$ In commercial diving mixes I am not sure that carbon dioxide would be added in those quantities. I used to do a lot of recreational...

The pressure acting on 60 cubic meters of gas is raised from 236 kPa to 354 kPa. The temperature is kept constant. What new volume does the gas occupy?

states that the volume of an enclosed gas is inversely proportional tot he pressure exerted on it, provided the temperature remains constant. $therefore P_1V_1=P_2V_2$ $therefore V_2=(P_1V_1)/P_2$ $=(236xx60)/354$ $=40m^3$

Two hundred liters of gas at zero degrees Celsius are kept under a pressure of 150 kPa. The temperature of the gas is raised to 273 degrees Celsius and the pressure is increased to 600 kPa. What is the new volume?

...according to the combined gas equation... We solve for....$V_2=(P_1V_1)/T_1xxT_2/P_2$ $=(150*kPaxx200*L)/(273*K)xx(546*K)/(600*kPa)=??*L$

A gas at 155 kPa and 25°C has an initial volume of 1.00 L. The pressure of the gas increases to 605 kPa as the temperature is raised to 125°C. What is the new volume?

Ideal gas equation is $PV = nRT$ $(PV)/T = nR$ In both the cases $(PV)/T$ is equal to $nR$ Therefore, $(P_1V_1)/T_1 = (P_2V_2)/T_2$ $V_2 = (P_1V_1)/T_1 × T_2/P_2$...

A gas at 155 kPa and 25'C has an initial volume of 1.00 L. The pressure of the gas increases to 605 kPa as the temperature is raised to 125°C. What is the new volume?

We use the old $"combined gas law..."$ $(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2$ And if we solve for $V_2=(P_1V_1)/T_1xxT_2/P_2$...the which product CLEARLY has the units of $"volume"$. And we plug in the values.... $V_2=(155*cancel(kPa)xx1.00*Lxx398*cancelK)/(298*cancelKxx605*cancel(kPa))=0.342*L$ Pressure...

A container of gas with a pressure of 450 kPa contains three different gasses -hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. If the partial pressure of the hydrogen is 210 kPa and the partial pressure of the oxygen is 125 kPa, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen?

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure is equivalent to the sum of the pressures of the individual gases (if they were present alone). Therefore, the...

Gas stored in a tank at 273 K has a pressure of 388 kPa. The safe limit for the pressure is 825 kPa. At what temperature will the gas reach this pressure?

Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvins. The equation for is $P_1/T_1=P_2/T_2$. $P_1="388 kPa"$ $T_1="273 K"$...

For a certain gas in a closed container, the pressure has been raised by $0.4%$, and the temperature was raised by $"1 K"$. What temperature did the gas start at?

This is an impossible question. However, if we assume that the question should have written that the vessel is rigid, then I get an initial temperature of $"250 K"$....
