Homework Statement
Assuming that 1 kg of dry air consists of 232 g of oxygen and 768 g of nitrogen (ignore the admixture of other gases), calculate the molar mass of the air.
Relevant Equations
M = NA(avogadro number) x mo (molecular mass)
pdf file is my solooution l think its wrong

In the 1 kg of air, how many moles of oxygen are there? How many moles of nitrogen are there? What is the mole fraction of oxygen? Of nitrogen?
L really have no idea that's why l asking you guys.

232 grams of oxygen is how many moles?
14.50054377039141 moles (oxygen) 232 g of oxygen
54.830902353873405 moles (nitrogen) 768 g of nitrogen

do l need to just add these together to get the result?

Wrong. How many atoms are there in molecular oxygen? In molecular nitrogen? What is the molar mass of an oxygen molecule? Of a nitrogen molecule?
molar mass for oxygen is 16
molar mass for nitrogen is 14
