Answer:
The pressure increases by a factor 8
Explanation:
For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:
where
is the initial pressure
is the final pressure
is the initial volume
is the final volume
For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from
to
so we can rewrite the equation as
this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.
