Concept of Partial Pressure / Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

     Partial pressure is the pressure of component A, which it would have if it alone occupied the volume at the same temperature as now present in that "ideal" gas mixture. Greater the concentration of vapors of that component (A) in mixture, greater will be it's partial pressure.
   
     Total pressure of this gaseous mixture is the sum of partial pressure of all components. This is what called Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure. This is because in and ideal mixture, there are no forces of attraction or repulsion b/w molecules. Mathematically


     Since in an ideal gas or vapor the partial pressure is proportional to the mole fraction of the component in vapor phase, therefore 
     The partial pressure of a gas dissolved in a liquid is the partial pressure of that gas which would be generated in a gas phase in equilibrium with the liquid at the same temperature. The partial pressure of a gas is a measure of thermodynamic activity of the gas's molecules. Gases will always flow from a region of higher partial pressure to one of lower pressure; the larger this difference, the faster the flow. Gases dissolve, diffuse, and react according to their partial pressures, and not necessarily according to their concentrations in a gas mixture.
