The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

Answer from: synite

Extreme pressure of the gas exerted on the walls of tank or cylinder is most likely the reason

Explanation:

Normally, compressed gas is filled in a container at a high pressure, because there is no other method you can fill a gas in this container. You need a greater quantity of gas filled in container and then transported to other places for various purposes. Now usually a valve is placed at the opening of tank or cylinder to control the flow of gas when using it. If you break open the container, the gas molecules will break out at a rapid velocity, since, according to Newton's third law of motion, which is,

Every action has an equal but opposite reaction

the force exerted by gas to flow out into atmosphere will equally act on container as well but in opposite direction. It can cause container to move haphazardly in very fast speed and container can collide with you or any other person standing nearby.

Secondly, it depend upon the nature of gas that it is might be poisonous or inflammable and when breaks out in environment, it can cause damage to the people who inhale it or it might cause fire in the surroundings. That is why, it is dangerous to break open a container of compressed gas.

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?
