The air in the syringe is at a pressure of 2.0×105Pa. The piston is slowly moved into the

syringe, keeping the temperature constant, until the volume of the air is reduced from
80 cm3 to 25 cm3. Calculate the final pressure of the air.

P V = n R T

n R and T do not change so

P1 V1 = P2 V2

2 *10^5 * 80 = P2 * 25
so
P2 = 2*10^5 * (80/25)

To calculate the final pressure of the air in the syringe, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles of gas
R = ideal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))
T = temperature

In this case, the temperature is constant, so we can assume that T1 = T2. Therefore, the equation becomes:

P1V1 = P2V2

Let's plug in the given values:
P1 = 2.0×10^5 Pa
V1 = 80 cm^3 = 80 × 10^(-6) m^3
V2 = 25 cm^3 = 25 × 10^(-6) m^3

Now we can solve for P2:

P2 = (P1 × V1) / V2

P2 = (2.0 × 10^5 Pa × 80 × 10^(-6) m^3) / (25 × 10^(-6) m^3)

P2 = (2.0 × 80) × 10^5 / 25

P2 = 160 × 10^5 / 25

P2 = 6.4 × 10^6 Pa

Therefore, the final pressure of the air in the syringe is 6.4 × 10^6 Pa.
