John Alfred Dalton

John Alfred Dalton was a British physicist renowned for developing Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, which explains how gases behave when mixed. His law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures each gas would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume at the same temperature. This principle is fundamental in chemistry and engineering for understanding gas behaviors in various systems. Dalton's work significantly contributed to the development of modern gas laws and enhanced our understanding of the properties of gases in scientific and industrial contexts.
