Dalton's law

Dalton's law (also called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.^[1] This empirical law was observed by John Dalton in 1801 and published in 1802.^[2] Dalton's law is related to the ideal gas laws.
