Question

Can we apply Dalton,s law of partial pressure to a mixture of CO and O2?

Answer 1

Dalton's law expresses the fact that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.[5] This equality arises from the fact that in an ideal gas the molecules are so far apart that they do not interact with each other. Most actual real-world gases come very close to this ideal. For example, given an ideal gas mixture of nitrogen (N2), hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3):

P = PN₂ + Ph₂ + PNH₃

Where ,

P = total pressure of the gas mixtures

PN₂ = partial pressure of Nitrogen

Ph₂ = partial pressure of hydrogen

PNH₃ = partial pressure of ammonia
