Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of the individual gases.
Dalton's Law
The principle that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures that each would exert if it were present alone.
Partial Pressures
The pressure that a single gas in a mixture of gases would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume of the mixture.
Total Pressure
The combined pressure exerted by a mixture of gases in a container, equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone.
