For mixture of two ideal gases, total pressure = (Dalton's law):
AP_avg
BSum of partial pressures P_total = P₁ + P₂
CMaximum
DProduct
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Sum of partial pressures P_total = P₁ + P₂
**Dalton's law of partial pressures:** each gas behaves independently. P_total = ΣP_i.
Holds for ideal mixtures (negligible intermolecular interactions).
**Each partial pressure:** P_i = n_i RT/V.
