What are the applications of Dalton's law of partial pressure?

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) Physicians reports the pressure of the patient.s gases in BLOOD , analyzed by hospital lab, the values are reported as partial pressures.
Gas `""` Normal range
`P_(CO_(2)) ""` 35-45 mm of Hg
`P_(O_(2)) ""` 80-100 mm of Hg
(II) When gas is colleted by downward displacement of water , the pressure of dry vapour collected is computed USING Dalton.s law.
`P_("dry gas colleted") = P_("Total") = P_("Water vapour")`
`P_("water vapour")` = Aqueous tension
