Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure __Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure__ states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases. The __partial pressure__ is defined as the pressure of each gas in a mixture of that gas.

The equation for Dalton’s law is: PT=P1 +P2+P3. . . In this equation, PT stands for total pressure and P1, P2 and P3...... stand for the different pressures of your equation.



It is important to remember that this equation is true regardless of how many partial pressures are added to the equation!!
