Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures: each gas in a mixture creates pressure as if the other gases were not present. The total pressure is the sum of the pressures created by the gases in the mixture.
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .... + Pn
Where n is the total number of gases in the mixture.
The only necessity is that the two gases do not interact in some chemical fashion, such as reacting with each other.
The pressure each gas exerts in mixture is called its partial pressure.

John Dalton (1766-1844) formulated the law of partial pressures (Daltan's law). Note: only true for ieal gases

That would be John Dalton's partial pressure law.
