Formula and explanation
Formula: P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + ... + P n Applicable conditions: Mixture of gases, non - reactive components, all ideal gases. Explanation: The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. P(total) is the total pressure, P i is the partial pressure of the i - th component (the pressure it would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume).
