Problem Solving Strategy:

Since this is a problem about a gas, and all the data provided are physical properties we conclude it is an Ideal Gas Law Problem and we need to construct a table to associate values in the problem statement with the variables in the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT).

The Table before entering the data would look like;

P

V

n

R

T

Condition
