A miniature pressurized canister containing nitrogen gas is used in a cold-brew coffee dispensing system.
Use ideas about particles to explain how nitrogen gas exerts a pressure on the inside walls of the canister.
The nitrogen canister has a safety warning label:
WARNING Pressurised container. Do not expose to temperatures above 50∘C50^\circ\text{C}50∘C.
State how increasing the temperature of the nitrogen gas would affect the pressure inside the canister.
Explain your answer to part (b)(i) in terms of the behavior of the gas particles.
The canister has a volume of 350 cm3 and the pressure of the nitrogen inside is 12 times atmospheric pressure.
Calculate the volume that this nitrogen gas would occupy if it were fully released to atmospheric pressure, assuming the temperature remains constant.
