Answer: sum of the pressure of the two gases present.
Explanation:
According to Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of individual pressures exerted by the constituent gases.
[tex]p_{total}=p_A+p_B[/tex]
For example if there are there are two gases hydrogen and oxygen with individual pressure of 30 and 20 atm each. Then the total pressure in the container will be:
[tex]p_{total}=p_{H_2}+p_{O_2}[/tex]
Thus [tex]p_{total|=30atm+20atm[/tex]
[tex]p_{total}=50atm[/tex]
Thus if two gases are present in a container, the total pressure in the container is equal to sum of the pressure of the two gases present.
Answer:
(A) the sum of the pressures that are exerted by each of the two gases.
