"Lightyear" is a <em>distance</em> ... specifically, the distance that light travels
through vacuum in one year of 365 days.

It's equivalent to 9.454 x 10^12 kilometers, or 5.875 x 10^12 miles .

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 volu

Answer:

B. $V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches$

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

$P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i}$ (1)

$P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f}$ (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because $T_{i}=T_{f}$ , $n_{i}=n_{f}$ and R is an universal constant:

$P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}$ , solving for $V_{f}$

$V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}$

$V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches$
