MCQ
The total pressure of a mixture of two gases is equal to :
  • Sum of their partial pressures
  • B
    The difference in partial pressures
  • C
    The product of partial pressures
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Sum of their partial pressures
The total pressure of a mixture of two gases is equal to sum of their partial pressures.
Let $\ce{P_A}$​ and $\ce{P_B}$​ be the partial pressures of two gases $A$ and $B$ and $\ce{P_T}$​ be the total pressure of the gaseous mixture.
Then ${P_T=P_A+P_B}$​
