Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure says that the total pressure equals the sum of the partial pressures of each gas (that is, each gas exerts a partial pressure independent of the other gases).
Ptotal = PgasA + PgasB.
Supposed two gases in a container have a total pressure of 100.20 atm. What is the pressure of gas X if the partial pressure of gas Y is 7.50 atm?
