law of partial pressures

• Principio científico que afirma que en una mezcla de gases que no reaccionan entre sí, la presión total es igual a la suma de las presiones parciales de cada gas individual. También se conoce como ley de Dalton.

A scientific principle stating that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas. Also known as Dalton's law.

   • According to the law of partial pressures, the total pressure in the container is the sum of the pressures of oxygen and nitrogen.
   • The law of partial pressures helps explain how gases behave in a mixture.
   • Dalton's law of partial pressures is fundamental in understanding gas exchange in the lungs.
