Inflating a balloon seems to violate Boyles law. Why

Open in App

Solution

it seeems but, when we squeeze the inflated balloon the volume decreases and simultaneously pressure inside it increases. Thus Boyle's law is not violated actually which says PV= constant or Pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
