Answer:
0.021
Explanation:
that's the answer because I just did an exam that included this question and then the miss explained to me why this was the answer, but don't worry am 100% sure the answer is 0.021 .
The mole fraction of ethanol in a solution of 47.5 g of ethanol in 850 g of water is 0.021.
How we calculate the mole fraction?
Mole fraction of any substance present in solution will be calculted by dividing the moles of sample to the total moles of solution.
Moles will be calculated as:
n = W/M , where
W = given mass
M = molar mass
Moles of ethanol will be calculated as:
n = 47.5g / 46.07g/mol = 1.03 moles
Moles of water will be calculated as:
850g / 18g/mol = 47.18 moles
Total moles of solution = 1.03 + 47.18 = 48.21 moles
Mole fraction of ethanol in water will be calculated as:
mole fraction = 1.03 / 48.21 = 0.021
Hence, mole fraction is 0.021.
