A pressurized mixture of nitrogen and argon is supplied to a directional control nozzle on a space

Question:

A pressurized mixture of nitrogen and argon is supplied to a directional control nozzle on a space satellite. Plot the gas velocity at the nozzle exit as a function of the argon mass fraction with fixed pressure and temperature at the entrance and pressure at the exit. The force produced by this nozzle is proportional to the product of the mass flow rate and velocity at the exit. Is there an optimal argon mass fraction that produces the greatest force?
