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
