State
A gas's partial pressure equals its mole fraction, its moles divided by total moles, multiplied by the mixture's total pressure.
Show
A gas making up one-quarter of a mixture's moles contributes exactly one-quarter of the mixture's total pressure.
Watch for
Mole fraction is a ratio of moles, not of mass — a heavier gas at the same mole fraction contributes the same pressure share.
