    A sealed flask with a capacity of 2dm32dm^{3} contains 11 g11\text{ }g of propane gas. The flask is so weak that it will burst if the pressure becomes 2MPa2MPa. The minimum temperature at which the flask will burst is  ∘C\ ^{\circ}C. [Nearest integer] (Given: R=8.3 J K−1 mol−1R = 8.3\text{ }J{\text{ }K}^{- 1}{\text{ }mol}^{- 1}. Atomic masses of CC and HH are 12u12u and 1u1u respectively.) (Assume that propane behaves as an ideal gas.)
