Partial Pressure in Thermodynamics Formulas

Partial pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a single gas within a mixture of gases, the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the entire volume of the mixture. And is denoted by p_partial. Partial Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Partial Pressure is always negative.
