T_1=450KT1=450K

Explanation:

Since the gas it is getting compressed with a change on temperature, we consider that the pressure is constant, and of course the number of mole is constant (same gas), therefore, from the ideal gas law PV=nRTPV=nRT we can say:

V/T=" constant"VT= constant

Therefore, (V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)=>T_1=V_1xx(T_2)/(V_2)V1T1=V2T2T1=V1×T2V2

=>T_1=12cancel(L)xx(300K)/(8cancel(L))=450K
