Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Figure 40-6 compares the behavior of compressed gas and liquid gas cylinders during use. The vapor pressure of liquid gas cylinders varies with the temperature of the contents. For example, the pressure in a nitrous oxide cylinder at 70 F is 745 psig; at 60 F, the pressure decreases to 660 psig. As the temperature increases toward the critical point, more liquid vaporizes, and the cylinder pressure increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Should the temperature increase too much (as in a fire), the high gas pressure could rupture and explode the cylinder. To prevent this type of accident, all cylinders have high-pressure relief valves.
