1.1 a. Concentration of a gas mixture.
A mixture of noble gases [helium (1), argon (2), krypton (3), and xenon (4)] is at a total pressure of
200 kPa and a temperature of 400 K. If the mixture has equal mole fractions of each of the gases,
determine:
a) The composition of the mixture in terms of mass fractions.

Solution:
Basis: 100 kmole of the mixture




b) The average molecular weight of the mixture.

Solution




c) The total molar concentration.

Solution




d) The mass density.
