AI Generated Solution

To calculate the mole fraction of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂) in a solution containing 20% by mass of C₂H₆O₂, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mass of ethylene glycol and water in the solution Given that the solution is 20% C₂H₆O₂ by mass, we can assume we have 100 g of the solution. Therefore: - Mass of C₂H₆O₂ (ethylene glycol) = 20 g - Mass of water = 100 g - 20 g = 80 g ### Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂) ...
