A) Incorrect. Boyle's Law states that at a constant temperature as the pressure of gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases.
B) Incorrect. Charles' Law states that at a constant pressure the volume of a gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases.
C) Correct. Dalton's Law states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressures.
D) Incorrect. Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure inside decreases.
