Dalton's law of partial pressure states that in a gaseous mixture, the partial pressure exerted by a gaseous component, its partial pressure is the same as if it ALONE occupied the container.
Explanation:
See this answer for the partial pressure of oxygen in our atmosphere. And thus the pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture is proportional to its mole fraction.
