(N/A) Dalton's Law: Formulated by John Dalton in $1801$,it states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of non-reactive gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Partial pressure $(p)$: In a mixture of gases,the pressure exerted by an individual gas is called its 'partial pressure'.
Mathematical formula: If $p_{\text{Total}}$ is the total pressure and $p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}, \dots$ are the partial pressures of individual gases at constant $T$ and $V$:
$p_{\text{Total}} = p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} + \dots$ (Eq.-$I$)
Pressure of dry gas: Gases collected over water are moist. To find the pressure of the dry gas:
$p_{\text{Dry gas}} = p_{\text{Total}} - p_{\text{Aqueous tension}}$ (Eq.-$II$)
Aqueous tension: The pressure exerted by saturated water vapour is called 'aqueous tension'.
