The composition of air is often given in terms of only the two principal species in the gas mixture
oxygen, \mathrm{O}_{2}, y_{\mathrm{o}_{2}}= 0.21
nitrogen, \mathrm{N}_{2}, y_{\mathrm{N}_{2}}= 0.79
Determine the mass fraction of both oxygen and nitrogen and the mean molecular weight of the air when it is maintained at 25°C (298 K) and 1 atm \left(1.013 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\right). The molecular weight of oxygen is 0.032 kg/mol and of nitrogen is 0.028 kg/mol.
