Question

Dalton's law states that Dalton's law states that a. the volume of gas that will dissolve in a solvent is proportional to the solubility of the gas and the gas pressure. b. gas volume and pressure are inversely proportional. c. in a mixture of gases like air, the total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures of the gases in the mixture. d. gas volume and temperature are directly proportional. e. None of the answers are correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. in a mixture of gases like air, the total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.

Explanation:

Dalton law is also known as Dalton's law of partial pressure. It simply explains that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases in a container is the sum of the individual gas pressure (partial pressure) exerted by each of the gases.

Hence, the correct option is C.
