Where f and f

are the resonant frequencies of the mixture and pure gas,
respectively.
Combining 12, 13 and 14:
[15]
Simplifying leads to,
[16]
where,
[17]
[18]
[19]
Since the equation is quadratic, the solutions are of the following form,
[20]
Since
x
1,2
represents the Mole Fraction of the gases, acceptable solutions are,
[21]
The general result of this analysis is that the technique is most sensitive to
composition changes when the Molecular Weight difference between the carrier
gas and the precursor is the greatest. See Figure 9-1.
