The law of partial pressures is also known as Dalton's law. It states that:

Ptotal = Pa + Pb + PC + ... + Pn

The partial pressure of each gas will add up to to the total pressure of the gas.

State Dalton's law and Henry's law of partial pressure?

THE DALTON,S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES.Dalton's law is useful to calculate pressure of a gas collected over water in the labouratery.When a gas is collected by downward displacement of water it became moist due to water vapour there for,observed pressure is equal to sum of the pressure of dry gas and the pressure of watervapour[aqueous tension].aqueous tension is constant at a particular temperaturevapour pressure of the dry gas is equal to the difference between total pressure and aqueous tension

What is the partial pressure of oxygen in a balloon?

The partial pressure of oxygen will vary according to where you look. Atmospheric oxygen partial pressure is approximately 21% of the atmospheric pressure of the location at which you measure (typically around 1 atmosphere at sea level, making the partial pressure of oxygen at seal level 0.21 ATM or 21.3KPa). The value varies geographically and with time, but also varies in different tissues of organisms, since not all oxygen available is absorbed, and complex multicellular organisms will have certain tissues (respiring muscle) that use up oxygen, resulting in a lower partial pressure there.normal oxygen partial185.4 kPa or in another unit:100 mmHg in the arterial blood. The partial pressure on the alveolar site is about 105 mmHg.
