Tanner's General Chemistry



Partial Pressure

Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases at the same pressure and temperature contain equal number numbers of moles. For a mixture of ideal gases the partial pressure of component i (Pi) is given by the mole fraction of i times the total pressure P.

The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of all the components.
