1 janv. 1803 - Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Description:

The Law of Partial Pressures states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total gas pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

He also discovered thorugh experiments that 12 grams of carbn and 16 grams of oxygen mixed creats what we call carbon monoxide.

He also discovered that 12 garms of carbon would react with 16 grams of oxygen to form the copund now called carbon dioxide.

These experiments made him state that atoms of different elements have different masses. He created to diagrams to prove this pictured below.
