A two-liter plastic soft drink bottle can withstand a pressure of 5 atm. Half a cup (approximately 120 mL) of ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH (d = 0.789 g/mL), is poured into a soft drink bottle at room temperature. The bottle is then heated to 100°C (3 significant figures), changing the liquid alcohol to a gas. Will the soft drink bottle withstand the pressure, or will it explode?
