GK QUESTION#3344
For an ideal mixture of non-reacting gases, which law states that total pressure equals the sum of the component partial pressures?
Show Answer
Answer
C. Dalton's Law
Show Explanation
Explanation
Dalton’s law of partial pressures states that an ideal, non-reacting gas mixture has total pressure equal to the sum of its component partial pressures. Each partial pressure is what that gas would exert alone at the same temperature and volume. The law is an approximation for real gases.
