Question
18. Mixture of noble gases (helium, argon, krypton, and
xenon) is at a total
pressure of 150 kPa and a temperature of 500 K. If the
mixture has 1:2:3:4 ratio respectively of each of the gases,
determine:
(a) The composition of the mixture in terms of mass
fractions.
(b) The average molecular weight of the mixture.
(c) The total molar concentration.
Molecular weights ( He =4 g/mol, Ar = 39.95 /mol,
Krypton= 83.8 g/mol , xenon =131.3 g/mol ,R =8.314
m'Pa mol- K.
