NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. | Reason (R): The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure it would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume at the same temperature.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures, the total pressure is the sum of partial pressures, and the partial pressure is defined as the pressure the gas would exert if it were alone.
