Partial Pressures and Dalton’s Law Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures – the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture. Since all gases in a mixture occupy the same volume and are at the same temperature then the pressure is directly related to the moles of gas ntotal = ngas1 + ngas2 …..
