Chapter 13.3, Problem 1P
Consider a mixture of several gases of identical masses. Will all the mass fractions be identical? How about the mole fractions?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Find whether the mass fractions be identical or not when considering a mixture of several gases of identical masses? Also, find the same for mole fractions
Explanation of Solution
Since the identical masses are considered for the mixture of several gases, the mass fractions will be identical. The identical masses are not present in the mole fraction, so it will not be identical. The mole fraction refers to the mole number of a substance divided by the total number of moles of the mixture.
