Practice Questions

Q1
In a gas mixture, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. This is known as:
  1. Dalton's Law
  2. Boyle's Law
  3. Charles's Law
  4. Ideal Gas Law

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a gas mixture, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. This is known as:
  • Step 1: Understand that a gas mixture contains more than one type of gas.
  • Step 2: Know that each gas in the mixture exerts its own pressure, called partial pressure.
  • Step 3: Realize that the total pressure of the gas mixture is the sum of all the individual partial pressures.
  • Step 4: Remember that this relationship is described by a principle in chemistry.
  • Step 5: This principle is called Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.
