The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure

Assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases, we can use the ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture.

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases:

\boxed{P_{Total}=P_{gas 1}+P_{gas 2}+P_{gas 3}......}

   Dalton's law can also be expressed using the mole fraction of a gas, x:

\boxed{P_{gas 1}=x_1P_{Total}\text P_{\text {gas 1}} = x_1 \text {P}_{\text{Total}} P_{gas} 1​=x_1​P_{Total​}}

we can calculate the contribution of different gases in a mixture to the total pressure. We refer to the pressure exerted by a specific gas in a mixture as its partial pressure. The partial pressure of a gas can be calculated using the ideal gas law

\boxed{PV=nRT}
