1. (A)You are to use MatLab to convert from mass fraction to mole fraction, and then calculate the molar average heat capacity of a gas mixture. Note that the average heat capacity is simply the mole fraction of each component multiplied by the heat capacity of that component. You can use the data below for your calculations.

Test your calculations for the following composition (mass fractions): 16% O2, 4% CO, 17% CO2, and 63% N2

(answer: 15% O2, 4.4% CO, 12% CO2, 69% N2 and molar average heat capacity=29.85 J/mol/K).

0% O2, 80% CO, 12% CO2 and 8% N2 (answer: 0% O2, 83.7% CO, 8% CO2, 8.4%N2 and molar average heat capacity= 29.53 J/mol/K).

Species Molecular Weight Heat Capacity (J/mol/K) O2 31.9988 29.1 CO 28.01 28.95 CO2 44.01 36.11 N2 28.0134 29

(B) Using the script you wrote, explore what happens when you make different mistakes. Some mistakes to try: Try to run the script when one of the variables has not been given a value Introduce an error into your script (possibilities: make a typo in an equation you input, mistype a variable name) Anything else you can think of!
