Scientific Law — Definition & Examples

"The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases in a container is equal to the sum of the separate pressures that each gas would exert if just that single gas occupied the entire volume of the container. This can expressed as p$_{\text{total}}$ = p$_{1}$ + p$_{2}$ + p$_{3}$ + ... + p$_{n}$."
