NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question
Consider a piston-cylinder diagram showing a gas at constant temperature T and volume V. If the gas is replaced with a mixture of ideal gases, which law explains how to determine the total pressure exerted by the mixture?

Dalton's law of partial pressures
Boyle's law
Charles's law
Avogadro's law
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Dalton’s law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of ideal gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each component gas.
