Calculate the mole fractions of the components of the solution composed by `92g` glycerol and `90g` water ? (M(water) = 18 , M (glycerol) = 92) .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Moles of water = 90 g /18 g = 5 mol water
Moles of glycerol = 92g/92g = 1 mol glycerol
Total moles in solution `= 5 + 1 = 6` mol
Mole fraction of water = 5 mol/6 mol = 0.833
Mole fraction of glycerol = 1 mol/6mol = 0.167

Calculate the mole fraction of ethanol if 9.2 g of it is mixed with 1.8 g water.

A chemist prepared a solution by adding by 230 g of pure ethanol (C_(2)H_(5)OH) to 144 g of water. Calculate the mole fractions of these two components. The molar masses of ethanol and water are 64 g and 18 g , respectively. Strategy: To calculate the mole fractions, we must find the number of moles of ethanol and of water. To find the moles, we must divide the given mass by the respective molar mass. In a two-component system made up of A and B molecules, the mole fraction of a component of a solution, say, component A is written chi_(A) and is defined as Mole fraction of component A= chi_(A) =("moles of A")/("sum of moles of A and B")
