Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, If pressure is Increased on a gas, volume decreases and vice-versa. But when we fill air in a balloon, volume as well as pressure Increase. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The law is applicable only for a definite mass of the gas. As we fill air into the balloon, we are introducing more and more air into the balloon. Thus, we are increasing the mass of air inside. Hence, the law is not applicable.
