Question: A gas mixture is flowing at m = 1 0 0 k g s contains 6 5 mol % n - pentane and 3 5

A gas mixture is flowing at m=100kgs contains 65mol%n-pentane and 35mol%n-hexane
a. Calculate molecular weights of each species.
b. Calculate the average molecular weight (?bar(M)w) of the stream.
c. Calculate the molar flow rate of each species (nl) and of the total stream (n) in gmol/s.
d. Calculate the mass flow rate and the mass fraction of each species ml? Confirm that the sum of the mass flow rate of each species is 100kgs.
Hint: You can use average molecular weight to calculate total molar flow rate from the total mass flow rate.
 A gas mixture is flowing at m=100kgs contains 65mol%n-pentane and 35mol%n-hexane
