Question

A mixture of 1 mole CO2 and 3.5 moles of air is contained in a vessel at 1 bar and 15°C. The volumetric
analysis of air can be taken as 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. Calculate for the mixture : (i) The masses
of CO2, O2 and N2, and the total mass. (ii) The percentage carbon content by mass. (iii) The apparent
molecular weight and the gas constant for the mixture. (iv) The specific volume of the mixture.

3. Assuming that air may be treated as a mixture of ideal gases which has a mass composition 23.2% oxygen
and 76.8% nitrogen, find the gas constant and apparent molecular weight of air.
[Ans. 0.288 kJ/kg K, 28.86]
