Answer:

Unless they chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each individual gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container . The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure.
