When a football is pumped, both the volume and pressure of the gas inside it increase. Does this observation contradict boyle's law?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. When the football is pumped, the quantity of air inside the football goes on increasing. As a result, the mass of air inside the football does not remain constant. moreover, pumping causes rise in temperature of air inside the football. thus, neigher the temperature nor the mass of the air remains constant. so, boyle's law is not applicable in this case.
