 A student ignores the warning labels and throws an empty hair

A student ignores the warning labels and throws an empty hair spray canister (no liquid left, no spray capability and cannot hiss when pressed) into his campfire. The spray canister is 25C, an atmospheric pressure is 720mmHg, and the temperature of the burning woods is 600C. If the canister cannot expand (as it is rigid) but is capable to burst, does the canister withstand the heat? State clearly your assumptions. [15 marks]
