The total pressure of a mixture of two gases is

Assertion: Pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of their partial pressure. Reason: Reacting gases react to form a new gas having pressure equal to the sum of both.

The gases obey the different gas laws only theoretically. Practically all of them show some deviation from these laws. These are called real gases. The deviation are maximum under high pressyre and at low temperature. These are comparatively small when the conditions are reversed. It has been found that the easily liquefiable gases show more deviations from the ideal gas beheviour as compared to the gases which are liqufied with diffculty. The temperature at which the real gases obey the ideal ga laws over a wide range of pressure is called
