What will be an ideal response?
Dalton's law states that the total air pressure in a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures contributed by each individual gases (the partial pressures). It is important because the air that we breathe is a mixture of gases, gas pressure is related to amount of gas, and the respiratory system is regulated in part by the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
