Q. A mixture of two gases, having partial pressures $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$, has total pressure $p$, then according to Dalton’s law
A) $p = p_{1} + p_{2}$
B) $p = \sqrt{(p_{1} + p_{2})}$
C) $p = p_{1} \times p_{2}$
D) $p = (p_{1} + p_{2})/2$
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: $p = p_{1} + p_{2}$.
