Two engineers are calculating the average molecular weight of a gas mixture containing oxygen and other gases. One of them uses the correct molecular weight of 32 for oxygen and determines the average molecular weight as 39.2. The other uses an incorrect value of 16 and determines the average molecular weight as 32.8. This is the only error in the calculations. What is the percentage of oxygen in the mixture expressed as mole percent? Choose a basis to solve the problem, but do not solve the problem.
