 Lesson Dalton’s Law of Partial
18 Pressures
In our previous lesson, we look carefully the properties of gases. We had seen
how these properties lead to various types of laws. We have considered laws that
describe the behaviour of gases. We have focused entirely on the properties of pure
gases with only a single chemical species. But what happens when two or more gases
are mixed? In this section, we describe how to determine the contribution of each
gas present to the total pressure of the mixture.

What’s In

Let us revisit some necessary skills and concepts you have mastered from
your previous lesson.

Ideal Solution
Direction: Solve the following problems. Show your complete solution on a separate
sheet of paper and submit a copy of it to your subject teacher.

1. How many moles are in 4.0 L sample of gas at 0.79 atm and 298 K?
2. What is the pressure of .35 moles of Ar at 325 K in a 4.6 L container?

What is New
Fire Extinguishers.

A fire extinguisher consists of a long cylinder with an operating lever at the

top. Inside the cylinder is a tube of carbon dioxide surrounded by a quantity of water,
which creates pressure around the CO2 tube. A siphon tube runs vertically along the
length of the extinguisher, with one opening in the water near the bottom. The other
end opens in a chamber containing a spring mechanism attached to a release valve
in the CO2 tube.The water and the CO2 do not fill the entire cylinder: as with the soda
can, there is "head space," an area filled with air. When the operating lever is
depressed, it activates the spring mechanism, which pierces the release valve at the
top of the CO2 tube. When the valve opens, the CO2 spills out in the "head space,"
exerting pressure on the water. This high-pressure mixture of water and carbon
dioxide goes rushing out of the siphon tube, which was opened when the release
valve was depressed. All of this happens, of course, in a fraction of a second—plenty
of time to put out the fire out.

What is It

Partial Pressures
The ideal gas law assumes that all gases behave identically and that their
behavior is independent of attractive and repulsive forces. If volume and temperature
are held constant, the ideal gas equation can be rearranged to show that the pressure
of a sample of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present:

Equation 1

Nothing in the equation depends on the nature of the gas—only the amount.
With this assumption, let’s suppose we have a mixture of two ideal gases that
are present in equal amounts. What is the total pressure of the mixture? Because
the pressure depends on only the total number of particles of gas present, the total
pressure of the mixture will simply be twice the pressure of either component. More
generally, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases at a given temperature
and volume is the sum of the pressures exerted by each gas alone. Furthermore, if
we know the volume, the temperature, and the number of moles of each gas in a
mixture, then we can calculate the pressure exerted by each gas individually, which
is its partial pressure, the pressure the gas would exert if it were the only one present
(at the same temperature and volume).
To summarize, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of
the partial pressures of component gases. This law was first discovered by John
Dalton, the father of the atomic theory of matter. It is now known as Dalton’s law of
partial pressures. We can write it mathematically as
Ptotal=P1+P2+P3+P4… Equation 2

where Ptotal is the total pressure and the other terms are the partial pressures of the
individual gases (up to n component gases).

Figure 1. Dalton’s Law. The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the
individual gases.

For a mixture of two ideal gases, A and B , we can write an expression for
the total pressure: Equation 3
 Equation 4

More generally, for a mixture of n component gases, the total pressure is

given by
Equation 5

Equation 6

Equation 6 restates Equation 4 in a more general form and makes it explicitly

clear that, at constant temperature and volume, the pressure exerted by a gas
depends on only the total number of moles of gas present, whether the gas is a single
chemical species or a mixture of dozens or even hundreds of gaseous species. For
Equation 6 to be valid, the identity of the particles present cannot have an effect.
Thus an ideal gas must be one whose properties are not affected by either the size of
the particles or their intermolecular interactions because both will vary from one gas
to another.

Table 1

Sample Problem 1
Given the following data, solve the following. Show your complete solution.
Given: PH2= 23 torr P02= 736 torr
Find: Ptotal

Ptotal = PH2 + PO2

= 23 torr + 736 torr

= 759 torr

Sample Problem 2
To find the amount of H2(g) produced, we need to correct the total pressure for
the amount of water vapor present. We know that Ptotal= PH2 + PH2O. In practice, we
measure pressure by adjusting the height of the tube or so that the levels of water
inside and outside the tube are equal. This means that the total pressure inside the
tube is equal to the atmospheric pressure (measured by a barometer).

Ptotal = P + P H2 H2O

The vapor pressure of water at certain temperature is given in table 1. For

example, the vapor pressure of H2O at 25 OC is 23.8 torr. Thus:

P = Ptotal – P
H2 H2O

= 760 torr – 23.8 torr = 736.2 torr

Sample Problem 3
Calculate the total pressure of a mixture that contains 2.5 g of He and 5.0 g of
Ar in a 7.00 L container at 20 OC.
Given: g He= 2.5 VL= 7.00 L
g Ar= 5.0 T= 20 OC

Change g He and g Ar to moles

2.5g He x 1 mol He
= 0.625 mol He
4 g He

5.0 g Ar x 1 mol Ar
= 0.125 mol Ar

= 2.14 atm + 0.420 atm
= 2.57 atm

Mole Fractions of Gas Mixtures

 The composition of a gas mixture can be described by the mole fractions of
the gases present. The mole fraction (Χ) of any component of a mixture is the ratio of
the number of moles of that component to the total number of moles of all the species
present in the mixture ( ntotal)

Equation 7

The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity between 0 and 1. If ΧA=1.0 ,

then the sample is pure A , not a mixture. If ΧA=0, then no A is present in the
mixture. The sum of the mole fractions of all the components present must equal 1.

To see how mole fractions can help us understand the properties of gas
mixtures, let’s evaluate the ratio of the pressure of a gas A to the total pressure of a
gas mixture that contains A. We can use the ideal gas law to describe the pressures
of both gas A and the mixture: PA=(nA)RT/V and Ptotal=ntRT/V . The ratio of the two
is;

Equation 8

Rearranging this equation gives

PA=ΧAPtotal Equation 9

That is, the partial pressure of any gas in a mixture is the total pressure
multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas. This conclusion is a direct result of the
ideal gas law, which assumes that all gas particles behave ideally. Consequently, the
pressure of a gas in a mixture depends on only the percentage of particles in the
mixture that are of that type, not their specific physical or chemical properties. By
volume, Earth’s atmosphere is about 78% N 2, 21% O2, and 0.9% Ar, with trace
amounts of gases such as CO2, H2O, and others. This means that 78% of the particles
present in the atmosphere are N2; hence the mole fraction of N2 is 78%/100% = 0.78.
Similarly, the mole fractions of O2 and Ar are 0.21 and 0.009, respectively. Using
Equation 9, we therefore know that the partial pressure of N 2 is 0.78 atm (assuming
an atmospheric pressure of exactly 760 mmHg) and, similarly, the partial pressures
of O2 and Ar are 0.21 and 0.009 atm, respectively.
Sample Problem 4

We have just calculated the partial pressures of the major gases in the air we
inhale. Experiments that measure the composition of the air we exhale yield different
results, however. The following table gives the measured pressures of the major gases
in both inhaled and exhaled air. Calculate the mole fractions of the gases in exhaled
air.
Given: pressures of gases in inhaled and exhaled air
Solution:
The mole fraction of any gas A is given by
PA
XA =
= Ptotal
where PA is the partial pressure of A and Ptotal is the total pressure. For example,
the mole fraction of CO2 is given as:

48 mmHg
XCO2= = 0.063
767 mmHg

The following table gives the values of X for the gases in the exhaled air.

Sample Problem 5
At a temperature of 300 K, 30 liters of gas A kept under pressure of 1 atm
and 15 liters of Gas B kept under pressure of 2 atm. Is transferred into an empty
10 L container. Calculate the total pressure inside the container and the partial
pressures of Gas A and Gas B (Assume that A and B are ideal gases).
Given: Gas A T= 300 K V= 30 L P =1 atm.
Gas B T= 300 K V= 15 L P =2 atm.
Calculate the total pressure inside the 10 L container = ?
Partial Pressure of A = ? Partial Pressure of B = ?
Solution: From the ideal gas law equation PV=nRT, we can calculate the number of
moles of A and B

REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS of Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

SCUBA Diving

Dalton's law refers to the effects of which partial pressure might have on scuba
divers. While the total gas pressure increases as a diver increases their descent, the
partial pressure of each gas involved increases as well which might cause harm to
the diver’s body if proper actions are not carried out. For example, air is a mixture of
gases which contain about 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen; although small amounts
of other gases are present as well. According to Dalton's law, the partial pressure
exerted by the nitrogen oxygen which make up the air will be equal to the total
pressure of the air; and will increase simultaneously. Nitrogen in this case is the
number one thing to keep an eye out for, due to the fact that if proper precautions
and diving guidelines aren’t followed, then adverse effects can take place. Whenever
there is an increase in the partial pressure of nitrogen, this will cause a higher
concentration of nitrogen to be dissolved in the blood of the diver, which can cause
nitrogen narcosis, a common side effect. The effects of which a gas acts on a diver
are based on the pressures of which such gasses exert on their body. This is why
Dalton's law is so important for divers and why they need to understand it. Pressure
related problems can affect the human body in several ways, such as ear canal
damage and the cardiovascular poisoning known as nitrogen narcosis.

Distillation of Mixtures

There are two general types of mixtures to consider, mixtures of miscible

liquids and mixtures of immiscible liquids. Their behavior in distillation is very
different from one another. Miscible liquids are soluble in each other in all ratios.
Immiscible liquids do not dissolve in one another to any extent. Water is immiscible
with most organic substances and will generally always be one of the components in
a mixture of immiscible liquids. Mixtures obey Dalton's law of partial pressures
which states that the vapor pressure of a mixture is equal to the sum of the vapor
pressures of the individual components. When a mixture of immiscible liquids is
heated, it will boil at a temperature which is less than the boiling point of either of
the components. Both components will be present in the vapor. For a specific
example consider a mixture of limonene and water. At a little over 97°C the vapor
pressure of water is 695 mmHg (mm of mercury) and the vapor pressure of limonene
is 65 mmHg. Since the sum of the vapor pressures equals 760 mmHg, the mixture
boils. The mixture will continue to boil at this temperature as long as any limonene
is present in the mixture. When all of the limonene is gone, the boiling point rises to
100°C, the boiling point of pure water. On condensing the vapor, the limonene and
water, being immiscible in one another, separate into two phases. This technique is
referred to as steam distillation and can be an effective method for isolating organic
materials from complex mixtures. The earliest isolations of organic substances from
natural materials were done using steam distillation. One distinct advantage of
steam distillation is the lower temperature required to isolate the organic substance.
In the example with limonene, limonene is volatilized at 97°C whereas its normal
boiling point is 175°C.

Pressure Total Temperature Independent

Dalton’s Law, simply stated, is that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of
gases (real or ideal) in a fixed volume is equal to the sum of each gases partial
pressure. Recall that the partial pressure of a gas is the pressure exerted by that
gas on its container __________ of any other gas. Because each gas in a mixture is at
the same _________ and is contained in the same volume Dalton’s law states that
their individual partial _________ can be simply added to find the ______ pressure in
