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?

Solution

When air is blown into a balloon, the volume and pressure inside the balloon increase. Here, Boyle’s law is not violated as the law is valid for a definite mass, whereas mass increase when more air is blown into the balloon.
