    Air is made up of only 2 gases oxygen and nitrogen

    if air is made up of only 2gases oxygen and nitrogen, and the molecular mass of air is 29g/mol, find the % of each component in the air, what i thought i should do is make 2 equations, Mw(O)=16 Mw(N)=14 X*16 + Y*14 = 29 (in 1mol of air) X + Y = 1 but the solution to this is not...
