Which best defines partial pressure in a mixture of gases?
a pressure that is exerted by all the gases of a mixture on the container
b pressure that is exerted by one gas as if it occupied a container by itself
c half of the pressure that is exerted by the gases of a mixture on the container
d sum of the individual pressures that are exerted by two or more gases

Correct answer choice is :

D) Sum of the individual pressures that are exerted by two or more gases

Explanation:

The pressure used by each gas in a gas mixture is sovereign of the pressure used by all other vapors present. Consequently, the total pressure used by a mixture of gases is the sum of the biased pressures of the segments. Air is a comparable compound of the gaseous elements nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller quantities of other materials. Salt, sugar, and many other materials dissolve in water to form homogeneous compounds.
