Question

Dalton's law states that in a mixture of chemically non-interacting gases, the
the pressure exerted by each contributor at a certain temperature is the same as if it were alone in the
in the container alone, and that the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures(1) of each gas. Deduce this law by kinetic theory from equation 18.11.

(1)The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of ideal gases corresponds to the pressure it would exert if it were
alone, occupying the whole container, at the same temperature of the ideal mixture.

P = F/A = N*m*Vx^2/V (18.11)
