The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture of gases is called its <u>partial </u>pressure this pressure is proportional to the <u>mole</u> fraction of the gas in the mixture
Pressure is defined as the force of all the gas particle of wall collisions divided by the area of the wall
The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure and assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases and we can use the ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture and the ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components
