. A one cubic meter tank contains a mixture of 2.5 kg of nitrogen and 4.5 kg of the unknown gas. The mixture pressure and temperature are 350 kPa and 80°c respectively. The gas constant for nitrogen is 0.2968 kJ*/kg- °K. Determine the gas constant of the unknown gas in kJ/kg-°K.
We have to use the ideal gas law, but this equation has to be modified to include both R constants for each of the substances with mass m1 and m2:
We proceed to substitute and find R2:
