According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to which of the following?
- A.The product of partial pressures
- B.The difference of partial pressures
- C.The sum of partial pressures
- D.The average of partial pressures
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — The sum of partial pressures
Solution
- Dalton's Law applies to a mixture of non-reacting gases.
- The total pressure is the sum of individual partial pressures .
- Mathematically, .
- Hence the answer is (C).
