Question

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volume of the gas? (Assume that there's no change in temperature.)

Answer 1

10 cubic inches
We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. 
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Where
 P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi
V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch
P2 is final pressure = 10 psi
V2 is final volume = unknown
V2 = P1,V1 / P2
V2 = 20 × 5 / 10
V2 = 100/10
V2 = 10 cubic inches
