Both the assertion and reasoning are true. However, the reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Dalton's law states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.

Raoult's law, on the other hand, applies to the partial pressure of each component in the vapour phase above the solution.

However, Dalton's law can be derived from Raoult's law by considering the vapour phase to be an ideal gas mixture, and assuming that the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the components. Therefore, Dalton's law can be considered as a special case of Raoult's law.
