+//INPUT
+N = 100; //Total no of moles of natural gas in lb mole(Basis of calculation)
+v = [83.5,12.5,4]; //Volumetric percent of methane, ethane and nitrogen respectively
+MW = [16.03,30.05,28.02]; //Molecular weight of methane, ethane and nitrogen respectively
+
+//CALCULATION
+//part(a)
+x = v; //mol percent of methane, ethane and nitrogen respectively
+//part(b)
+w1 = v(1)*MW(1); //Weight of methane in lb
+w2 = v(2)*MW(2); //Weight of ethane in lb
+w3 = v(3)*MW(3); //Weight of nitrogen in lb
+W = w1+w2+w3; //Total weight of the mixture in lb
+m1 = w1*100/W; //weight percent of methane
+m2 = w2*100/W; //weight percent of ethane
+m3 = w3*100/W; //weight percent of nitrogen
+//part(c)
+AVG_MW = W/100; //Average molecular weight in lb/lb mole
+//part(d)
+v = N*359; //Volume of natural gas at standard conditions in cu ft
+rho = W/v; //Density of natural gas at standard conditions in lb/cu ft
+
+//OUTPUT
