John Dalton was the first to recognize that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the contributions of the individual components of the mixture.

John Dalton FRS (6 September 1766 â 27 July 1844) was an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist. He is best known for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory; and his research into colour blindness, sometimes referred to as Daltonism, in his honour. In honour of Dalton's work, many chemists and biochemists use the (as yet unofficial) designation dalton (abbreviated Da) to denote one atomic mass unit (1/12 the weight of a neutral atom of carbon-12). 2  There is a John Dalton Street connecting Deansgate and Albert Square in the centre of Manchester.
