Question

According to dalton's law, unless they chemically react with each other, individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s what?

Answer 1

pressure

The Pressure of a Mixture of Gases: Daltons Law Unless they chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each others pressure. Each individual gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it present alone in the container  Figure 9.20 . The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure. This observation is summarized by Daltons law of partial pressures: The total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases: P Total = P A + P B + P C + . =  i P i In the equation PTotal is the total pressure of a mixture of gases, PA is the partial pressure of gas A; PB is the partial pressure of gas B; PC is the partial pressure of gas C; and so on.
