### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Definition of Partial Pressure**: Partial pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture of gases. It is the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the entire volume of the container alone. 2. **Understanding the Concept**: Consider a container with a volume \( V \) that contains three different gases: gas A, gas B, and gas C. Each gas contributes to the total pressure in the container. The total pressure \( P_t \) is the sum of the partial pressures of all the gases present: \[ ...
