Answer

Dalton's law of partial pressures depends on these assumptions as his law assumes that the identity of the gas including atomic mass is unimportant in calculating pressure.

Work Step by Step

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the partial pressure of a gas does not depend on the gases' identity including molar mass. Therefore, the law depends on these assumptions as these assumptions similarly disregard the identity of a gas as important.
