When air is pumped into a cycle tyre the volume and pressure of the air in the tyre both are increased. What about Boyle's law in this case?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

when there is pumped into a cycle tyre , more and more number of air molecules are pumped in to a tire of the cycle . So number of molecules will be increased . Boyle's law is applicable only when number of molecules remains constant .In this case it does not obey Boyle's law .
