Thermodynamics I
Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by a single component of a gas mixture when it occupies the same volume as the entire mixture. This concept is essential for understanding how different gases behave when mixed, as each gas contributes to the total pressure based on its own properties and concentration. The idea of partial pressure helps in analyzing gas mixtures, calculating properties of ideal gases, and applying the first and second laws of thermodynamics to systems containing multiple gases.
