Question
Somebody claims that the mass and mole fractions for a mixture of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ gases are identical. Is this true? Why?
Step 1
The mass fraction is the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture. The mole fraction is the number of moles of a component divided by the total number of moles in the mixture. Show more…

Are the mass and mole fractions for a mixture ever the same?
Consider a mixture of several gases of identical masses. Will all the mass fractions be identical? How about the mole fractions?
The sum of the mole fractions for an ideal-gas mixture is equal to 1. Is this also true for a real-gas mixture?
