Dalton's Law
Description:
Dalton's Law, also known as Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures that each gas would exert if it were present alone and occupied the same volume as the mixture. This law is based on the concept that each gas in a mixture behaves independently of the others.
