What will be the mole fraction of ethanol in a sample of spirit containing 85% ethanol by mass ?A. `0.69`B. `0.82`C. `0.85`D. `0.60` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `x_(C_2H_5OH)=(n_(C_2H_5OH))/(n_(C_2H_5OH)+n_(H_2O))` Mass of `C_2H_5OH`=85 g Molar mass of `C_2H_5OH`=46 g/mol `n_(C_2H_5OH)=85/46`=1.85 mol Mass of water =100-85 =15 g `n_(H_2O)=15/18`=0.833 mol `x_(C_2H_5OH)=1.85/(1.85+0.833)=1.85/2.683`=0.69 |
