Answer:

decrease the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this question we have to understand what Boyle's law is. According to Boyle's law; at constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to to its volume.

The Boyle's law shows us the relationship between the pressure and the volume. So, the Important thing to note hear is that if the volume in a container is decreased then the pressure will increase (and vice versa) due to the fact that as the volume decreases the particles in that container makes more collision which will make the pressure to increase.

Since, the piston is moveable it means that we can decrease and increase the volume in the cylinder. So, if the decrease the volume of the cylinder then we will have an increase in the pressure of the gas below the piston.

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore
devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore,  which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

0.103 otz
