SUMMARY
The magnitude of C in Boyle's Law (PV = C) is directly proportional to the quantity of gas enclosed. This relationship is supported by the ideal gas law, expressed as PV = NkT or PV = nRT, where N represents the number of molecules and n denotes the number of moles. Therefore, as the quantity of gas increases, the constant C also increases, confirming that the behavior of gases under constant temperature conditions adheres to this principle.
