Two identical cylinders contain helium at 2.5 atm and argon at 1 atm respectively. If both the gases are filled in one of the cylinders, the pressure would be
Dalton's law (also
called Dalton's law of partial pressures) states that the total
pressure exerted by the mixture of non-reactive gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases.
Ptotal=P1+P2
=1+2.5
=3.5 atm
