Daltonov zakon
1. Daltonov zakon
(chemistry and physics) law stating that the pressure exerted by a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixture; the pressure of a gas in a mixture equals the pressure it would exert if it occupied the same volume alone at the same temperature [(kemija in fizika) zakon, ki navaja, da je tlak, ki ga izvaja mešanica plinov, enak vsoti delnih tlakov plinov v mešanici; tlak plina v mešanici je enak tlaku, ki bi ga ta plin izvajal, če bi sam zavzemal enako prostornino pri isti temperaturi]
2. Daltonov zakon, zakon o večkratnih sorazmerjih
(chemistry) law stating that when two elements can combine to form more than one compound the amounts of one of them that combines with a fixed amount of the other will exhibit a simple multiple relation [(kemija) zakon, ki pravi, da kadar se dva elementa lahko združita in tvorita več kot eno spojino, količine enega od njiju, ki se združi z določeno količino drugega, tvorijo preprost večkratnik.]
