NEETPhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
When air is pumped into a cycle tyre, resulting in an increase in both the volume and pressure of the air in the tyre, how does this scenario align with Boyle's law?
Options
- AIt contradicts Boyle's law, as the law applies when the number of molecules remains constant.
- BIt confirms Boyle's law, as the volume and pressure of the air change proportionally.
- CIt demonstrates a modification of Boyle's law, accommodating changes in the number of molecules.
- DIt suggests an extension of Boyle's law, allowing for situations involving the addition of more molecules.
Correct answer
A. It contradicts Boyle's law, as the law applies when the number of molecules remains constant.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) It contradicts Boyle's law, as the law applies when the number of molecules remains constant.
