Answer
The pressure due to any individual component in the gas mixture is called partial pressure.
It is the pressure of any individual component is that components' fractional composition times the total pressure of the mixture.
Now dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure exerted by gas mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each of the components in the gas mixture.
$P_{total}= P_{a}+P_{b}+P_{c}+P_{d}.....$
Where P total is the total pressure of the gaseous mixture and $P_{a},P_{b},P_{c},P_{d}$ are the partial pressures of the components.
