Explain the following applications of Avogadro's Law A. As you blow up a basketball B. Flat tires C. Soda bottle​

Avogadro's Law - states that at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (or molecules) of the gas. This means that if you increase the number of gas molecules, you increase the volume. Here's how this applies to the examples:A. Blowing up a basketball:• When you blow air into a basketball, you are adding more air molecules (primarily nitrogen and oxygen) into the basketball.• As you add more molecules, the volume of the basketball increases, causing it to inflate.• The pressure inside the basketball also increases as the molecules collide more frequently with the inside walls.B. Flat tires:• A flat tire has a much smaller volume than an inflated tire because it contains fewer air molecules.• When air is added to a flat tire, the number of air molecules increases, causing the volume of the tire to expand.• This expansion restores the tire to its proper shape and allows it to support the weight of the vehicle.C. Soda bottle:• A sealed soda bottle contains a fixed amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the liquid.• When you open the bottle, the pressure inside decreases, allowing some of the dissolved carbon dioxide to escape as gas bubbles.• This escaping gas increases the volume inside the bottle, which is why you hear the fizzing sound and see the bubbles.
