Gas Mixture Analysis
Choose one explicit mole or mass basis for every component. The calculator checks the total and reports mixture molar mass with both derived fraction sets.
FreeNo sign-upPrivate — runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded
Declare 2–20 components on one explicitly selected basis. Fractions must add to exactly one; changing basis converts the current valid composition using pinned conventional molar masses.
Admitted real-mixture check
Only the N₂/O₂ 79/21 binary and fixed dry-air recipe are admitted in this launch scope. The runtime receives pinned recipe IDs only; a missing model or non-finite state remains unavailable rather than being approximated.
Concentration example
The mass concentration uses the selected gas's pinned conventional molar mass and the declared ideal temperature and absolute pressure. Wet reporting requires an explicit water mole fraction.
Verify a saved calculation passport
Paste a local passport JSON to verify its envelope and SHA-256 hashes in this browser. This checks integrity only; it does not rerun the physical calculation.
Quick answer
Mole fraction and mass fraction are not interchangeable. The pinned component molar masses connect them only after every component identity and one basis are declared.
Formula & method
Mmix = Σ(xᵢMᵢ); wᵢ = xᵢMᵢ / Mmix; xᵢ = (wᵢ/Mᵢ) / Σ(wⱼ/Mⱼ)
- basis — declared physical interpretation and units
All calculations retain their declared conditions and do not invent missing physical context.
Examples
- Input
- 5 mol% H₂ with 95 mol% N₂ yields a declared mixture molar mass and both component fraction sets.
- Result
- A labeled browser-local result or an explicit unavailable state
- Why
- The result keeps the required material, state and model context visible.
- Input
- A required material, basis or state is absent
- Result
- Needs-input status
- Why
- The workspace asks for the missing dependency instead of assuming it.
- Input
- A request outside the admitted capability
- Result
- Unavailable status
- Why
- No ideal or zero-valued fallback is substituted.
When to use this tool
- Finding mixture molar mass.
- Converting a declared mole composition to mass fractions, or the reverse.
- Checking a two-to-twenty component recipe.
Common mistakes
- Mixing mole and mass fractions in one table.
- Accepting a fraction total that is not one.
- Treating dry air as an unnamed universal gas.
Assumptions
What the result takes for granted:
- All rows use one explicitly selected basis.
- Fractions sum to one within numerical tolerance.
- Real mixture EOS is separately admitted.
Limitations
Where this tool stops — and what to use instead:
- Reactive and arbitrary real-mixture phase calculations are excluded.
- No composition is inferred from a product name.
- Each component must exist in the pinned catalog.
Frequently asked questions
Does this send my data to a server?
No. This gas workspace processes the declared inputs in your browser.
Why can a result be unavailable?
The requested material, state, output or interpretation may need information that has not been declared or is outside the admitted capability.
Can I rely on this for safety-critical work?
No. Verify the stated basis and use applicable standards, instrument data and qualified engineering review for safety-critical or custody-transfer decisions.
