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.

1.3 a. Concentration of liquified natural gas.
A sample of liquified natural gas, LNG, from Alaska has the following molar composition: 93.5%
CH4, 4.6% C2H6, 1.2% C3H8, and 0.7% CO2. Calculate:
a) Average molecular weight of the LNG mixture.

Solution




b) Weight fraction of CH4 in the mixture.

Solution

Basis: 100 kmoles of LNG




c) The LNG is heated to 300 K and 140 kPa, and vaporizes completely. Estimate the density of the
gas mixture under these conditions.
