Explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the pressure-temperature relationship of gases, illustrated by Gay-Lussac's law:
Let's rearrange this equation to solve for the final pressure,
Plugging in known values, we have
rounded to one significant figure, the lowest amount given in the problem.
