Total Pressure Calculation of Ideal Gas Mixture

Easy General Chemistry Gas Phase

Consider a sealed container holding a mixture of ideal gases A and B at constant temperature. The partial pressure of gas A is measured to be 0.6 atm, while the partial pressure of gas B is 0.4 atm. According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures, the total pressure in the container can be calculated by summing the partial pressures of each gas.

What is the total pressure in the container?
