Compute mole fractions and partial pressures (Dalton's law).
Gas 1
0.5000 atm
Mole Fraction (χ)
0.5000
Gas 2
0.5000 atm
Mole Fraction (χ)
0.5000
P_i = χ_i × P_total
Dalton's law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures: P_total = ΣP_i.
Enter the total pressure and the mole amount for each gas component. The calculator shows each component's mole fraction and partial pressure.
If you have 1 mol of A and 3 mol of B at 1 atm total, χ_A = 0.25 → P_A = 0.25 atm; χ_B = 0.75 → P_B = 0.75 atm.
Q: Can mole fractions exceed 1? A: No, fractions sum to 1. Q: Units? A: Pressure in atm, mole counts in moles (unitless fractions).
