No it can't. How can you get more than .5 cubic

of the cylinder. Inquiring minds want to know?

By compressing it, of course, so that the same *mass* of air that occupies 80
cu ft at standard pressure now occupies only 0.5 cu ft and easily fits inside
the cylinder.

Do you really have a hard time understanding this concept? Or are you just
being pedantic? Inquiring minds want to know....
