Update:
cylinder is filled with toxic COS gas to a pressure of 800.0 torr at 24°C. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the cylinder may rupture if the pressure exceeds 35 psi (pounds per square inch; 1 atm = 14.7 psi). What is the maximum temperature to which the cylinder could be heated without exceeding this pressure rating?
A: 398 C

35 psi x (51.7149 torr/psi) = 1810. torr
(24 + 273) K x (1810. torr / 800.0 torr) = 671.96 K = 399°C
