There is _______________ between barometric pressure and partial pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at any given point. The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure that gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at the same temperature. There is a direct relationship between barometric pressure and partial pressure because the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is directly proportional to its percentage in the mixture, and the total pressure exerted by the mixture (barometric pressure when considering the atmosphere) is the sum of the partial pressures of all gases in the mixture.
