Well, the combined gas law assumes a CONSTANT quantity of gas....

Explanation:

And we can see this from its usual formulation...

#(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2#..

And HERE a constant molar quantity of gas is assumed...

But with the use of the Ideal Gas law the number of gaseous particles may be accounted for by introducing the molar quantity into the state function...#PV=nRT#...where #R# is a suitable gas constant...and #n# is the moles of gaseous particles...
