Answer:
The gas law formula that should be used to solve the opportunity is;
Constant temperature, initial P·V = final P·V
Explanation:
From the question we have;
The initial volume of the cylinder, v₁ = 3.0 cc
The initial pressure of the gas in the cylinder, p₁ = 0.8 atm
The initial temperature of the gas in the cylinder, T₁ = Room temperature
The final volume of the cylinder, v₂ = 1.0 cc
The final pressure of the gas in the cylinder = p₂
The final temperature of the gas in the cylinder, T₂ = Room temperature
The gas law formula that should be used to solve the opportunity is Boyle's law which states that at constant pressure the pressure, of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas
Mathematically, Boyle's law can be expressed as follows;
P ∝ V
∴ P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂
Which gives;
Constant temperature, initial P·V = final P·V
