In preparing 2.50 moles of a mixture of three gases, SO2, H2S, and CS2, gases from three tanks are combined into a fourth tank. The tanks have the following compositions (mole fractions):

Combined Tanks Mixture

0.52

In the right-hand column is listed the supposed composition obtained by analysis of the mixture. Does the set of three mole balances for the three compounds have a solution for the number of moles taken from each of the three tanks and used to make up the mixture? If so, what does the solution mean?
