The sum of the partial pressures of a gas mixture equals the total gas pressure of the system.This statement represents which of the following laws?
A) Dalton's law
B) Avogadro's law
C) The combined-gas law
D) Boltzmann's Universal Gas Constant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Dalton's law.This law states that the total pressure of a gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the gases that make up the mixture.The par-tial pressure of a gas within a gas mixture can be calculated by multiplying the total pressure of the mixture by the percentage of the mixture it occupies.
