Abstract: Asymptotic solutions are constructed for the problem of the shock-wave structure in mixtures of gases with disparate molecular masses. The effect of emergence of a plateau on the density profile of the light component and nonmonotonicity of the temperature profile of the heavy component is described. Based on a comparison with calculations of the full model, the range of applicability of asymptotic solutions is determined.
