A solution contains 25% water, 25% ethanol (`C_(2)H_(5)OH` ) and 50% acetic acid (`CH_(3)COOH`) by mass. The mole fraction of

A

water =0.502

B

ethanol = 0.302

C

acetic acid = 0.196

D

ethanol + acetic acid = 0.497

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
Moles of water `=25/18 = 1.388`
Moles of ethanol `=25/46 = 0.543`
Moles of acetic acid `=50/60 = 0.833`
Total moles `=1.388 + 0.543 + 0.833 = 2.764`
`x_("water") = 1.388/2.764 = 0.502`
`e_("ethanol") = 0.196`
`e_("acetic acid") = 0.301`
`x_("ethanol") + x_("aceti acid") = 0.497`
