Question
A new refrigerant $R-410 a$ is a mixture of $R-32$ and $\mathrm{R}-125$ in a 1: 1 mass ratio. What are the overall molecular weight, the gas constant, and the ratio of specific heats for such a mixture?
Step 1
This is done by taking the weighted average of the molecular weights of the individual components. Given that the mixture is a 1:1 mass ratio of R-32 and R-125, we can calculate the overall molecular weight as follows: \[M_{\text{mix}} = 0.5 \times M_{\text{R-32}} Show more…
