Mole FractionHardQuestion 600038
Question
A solution has molality 2 m (solute molar mass 60 g/mol, solvent = water). The mole fraction of solute is:
- A0.035Correct
- B0.034
- C0.2
- D0.1
Correct answer
0.035
Explanation
2 m means 2 mol solute in 1000 g water = 1000/18 = 55.56 mol water. χsolute = 2/(2+55.56) = 2/57.56 ≈ 0.0347 ≈ 0.035.
