It follows, then, that the sum of the partial pressures (in mm Hg) or the tensions (in torr) of a gas must be equal to the total pressure. Henry’s law states that the concentration of a gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure.

Boyle’s law states that when temperature is constant, pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely related, that is,ĭalton’s law states that the partial pressure of a gas in a gas mixture is the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the total volume of the mixture in the absence of the other components. Three important gas laws govern ambient air and alveolar ventilation: Boyle’s law, Dalton’s law, and Henry’s law.
