 * Dalton's Law** states that he partial pressure of an ideal gas in a mixture is equal to the pressure it would exert if it occupied the same volume alone at the same temperature. **Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure** then states, the total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture. The equation is simply **Pf = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4...etc.**

Dalton was an english Quaker as well as a chemist, meteorologist and physicist.

1atm = .7atm of N2 + X atm of everything else Xatm = .3 atm
