Aerosol cans use compressed gases to propel the contents out of the can. Which of the following is the best explanation for why aerosol cans should not be overheated? (2 points) The aerosol cans may form a leak, and the compressed gases may condense into a liquid. Gases do not expand when heated, so the excess heat may cause the can to implode. As the can heats, the compressed gases will expand, causing the can to explode. As pressure increases, the gas in the aerosol can vaporize, and the can will no longer work.

Answer:

As the can heats, the compressed gases will expand, causing the can to explode

Explanation:

We know that the gases in the aerosol can would assume the shape and volume of the can. The volume of the can would be the volume of the compressed gas.

As heat is added to the can, the aerosol gases would gain kinetic energy and their speed would increase. The gases would begin to expand and would require more space in order to move. This would indirectly increase the pressures between gas molecules and the walls of the can as collisions soars.  

A point would eventually be reached where the gas agitation would lead to an explosion.

Overheated aerosol cans would explode.
