In the process of respiration, there is application of:

Correct answer: A. Dalton's Law

  • A. Dalton's Law
  • B. Charles's Law
  • C. Boyle's Law
  • D. Graham's Law

Explanation

Explanation:Dalton's law states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of non reacting gases is equal to the sum of their individual partial pressures. In the process of respiration, there is application of Dalton's law. This law is not directly applicable to respiration, as changes in temperature are not a major factor in the gas exchange that occurs in the lungs. This law is also not directly applicable to respiration, as changes in volume and pressure are not the primary driving forces behind gas exchange in the lungs. In the process of respiration, there is application of Dalton's law, not Graham's law.

About Ideal Gas Equation

The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, amount and absolute temperature when gas particles are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. Applications include finding molar mass, density or an unknown gas variable, with careful use of Kelvin temperature and consistent units, and comparison with real-gas behaviour.
