Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Gas Law

The given equation \( P_{T} = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} + \ldots \) represents the total pressure of a mixture of gases. This equation is a statement of Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.

Step 2: Explain Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture. Each gas in the mixture exerts pressure independently of the others.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures}}\)
