Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation:
According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.
The relationship is as follows.
or,
where, ....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture
Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.
where, = mole fraction
Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.
