We can use the formula for the relationship between volume, pressure, and temperature for an ideal gas:
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
where P1, V1, and T1 are the initial pressure, volume, and temperature, and P2, V2, and T2 are the final pressure, volume, and temperature.
Since the gas is compressed slowly, we can assume that the process is quasi-static and reversible, so the gas remains in thermal equilibrium at all times. Therefore, we can use the equation of state for an ideal gas:
PV = nRT
where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
Combining these equations, we can eliminate P and n:
V/T = (V1/T1) * (T2/V2)
Substituting V2 = V1/8 and simplifying, we get:
T2 = 8T1
Therefore, the temperature of the gas increases by a factor of 8, or 800%. However, we need to express the answer as a percentage increase, which is:
% increase = (T2 - T1)/T1 * 100% = (8T1 - T1)/T1 * 100% = 700%
Therefore, the answer is not given in the options, but the closest one is 300%.
