Dalton 's Law of partial pressure
Total pressure of an ideal gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent components, That is

(34.9) |
P is the total pressure of the mixture
Pi is the partial pressure of species i
= pressure of the species if it existed alone in the given temperature T and volume V
