Would you not expect this outcome?
Explanation:
And this relationship was experimentally confirmed by Amadeo Avogadro. The volume occupied by a gas is directly proportional to the number of gaseous molecules present in the container:
Historically, this gas law was important because it led to the idea of molar equivalence, and
Certainly, this is the behaviour we observe when we blow up a balloon.
