Question 1162892: A gas cylinder at a total pressure of 781 mm Hg contains three gases, helium at a partial pressure of 10 mmHg, neon at a partial pressure of 13 mm Hg and nitrogen gas. What is the partial pressure of the nitrogen gas?
Dalton's law expresses the fact that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum
of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture. This equality arises from the fact
that in an ideal gas the molecules are so far apart that they do not interact with each other.
Most actual real-world gases come very close to this ideal.
