Partial pressure


Dalton's law states that each gas in a mixture of ideal gases has a partial pressure which is the pressure that the gas would have if it alone occupied the same volume at the same temperature. The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.

Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the partial pressure of a gas in equilibrium with a liquid solution containing some of the gas is directly proportional to the concentration of that gas in the liquid solution.
