Was Robert Boyle Wrong ?


First let me notice the readers that this isn't a contradiction! I am NOT trying to make the discovery made by the great scientist PROVE WRONG.

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature for a fixed mass, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. The law can also be stated in a slightly different manner, that the product of absolute pressure and volume is always constant.The graph above is the original data by Boyle.

The relation between pressure and volume was first accounted by pressure and volume was first noted by two amateur scientists, Richard Townley and Henry Power. Boyle confirmed their discovery through experiments and made the important law, Let me enter to my view about the law,let us consider a balloon while we fill air in it the volume of the balloon increases a it gets bigger and bigger,this time according to Boyle the pressure inside the balloon must be low as pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

                           But we can see that air bursting out of the balloon with high pressure so the balloon must have experienced high pressure as its volume increased.You can say that there is no pressure inside the ballon at he time of the volume increase there is only pressure building at the time of release of air or bursting of balloon.
        Let me ask if we fill over air inside the balloon it bursts so there is pressure.......................
