A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of $CH_4$ = 20 %

So, mole fraction of $CH_4$ = 0.2

Mass percentage of $C_2H_4$ = 30 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ = 0.3

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2$ = 35 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ = 0.35

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2O$ = 15 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2O$ = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_4$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2$ = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2O$ = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}$

where,

$\chi_i$ = mole fractions of i-th species

$m_i$ = molar masses of i-th species

$n_i$ = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}$

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75$
