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): Each gas in a mixture exerts pressure independently as if no other gases are present.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures each gas would exert if it were alone, which is explained by the reason given.
