It is given that that initial volume of gas is 20 cubic inches.

The initial pressure is given as 5 psi.

The final pressure is given as 10 psi

We are asked to calculate the final volume.

Let initial and final volume of gas is denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

Let the initial and final pressure of gas is denoted as p_{1} \ and\ p_{2}

As per the question the temperature of a gas is constant.

From Boyle's law we know that pressure of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the applied volume at constant temperature.

Hence mathematically

                                p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{v}

                                pv=constant

                                p_{1} v_{1} =p_{2} v_{2}

                                v_{2} =\frac{p_{1}v_{1} }{p_{2} }

Putting the values of these respective quantities as mentioned above we get-

                                  v_{2} =\frac{5\ psi*20 cubic\ inches}{10\ psi}

                                         =10\ cubic\ inches        [ans]

PoVo = PfVf    Vf=PoVo/Pf  = 5*20/10 = 100/10 = 10 cubic inches

A researcher wants to know the effect of lighting on snacking behavior. He knows that young adults normally eat an average of =
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It does not impact snacking behavior.

Explanation:

The mean of the study was 18.7 grams, which is only 2.3 grams below the actual average grams of snacks that an adult would consume while at work, after revising this you could say that theres a significant reduction, but then the standard deviation is 9.1 this means that there are still adults that are eating more than 21 gram of snacks, so the test would result inconclusive.
