  1. A mixture of ideal gases has the following composition by mass :
    N2 O2 CO2
    60% 30% 10%

    If the universal gas constant is 8314 J/kmolK, the characteristic gas constant of the mixture (in J/kgK) is _______.
    1. 274.996
    2. 247.996
    3. 374.996
    4. 174.996
Correct Option: A

Gas constant of mixture,

Rm =
Universal gas constant
Average molar mass

Rm =
Universal gas constant
Average molar mass

Average molar mass =
100
= 30.233 kg/kmol
60
+
30
+
10
283244

Rm =
8314
= 274.996 J/kg -K
30.233
