Answer:
closer to F because fluorine has a higher electronegativity than carbon
Explanation:
Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bonding situation to draw the shared electrons of the bond closer to itself.
Electronegativity increases across the period and decreases down the group. A highly electronegative atom draws the shared electron pair of a bond towards itself.
When two atoms are bonded together, the electron pair is always drawn closer to the atom that has a higher electronegativity.
Hence, the electron pair in a C-F bond could be considered closer to F because fluorine has a higher electronegativity than carbon.
The mole fraction of a product is the number of moles of the product divided by the total number of moles of the solution.
Here moles of methanol = 6.0 moles
Moles of solution = 6.0 moles of methanol + 3.0 moles of water = 9.0 moles of solution
Mole fraction of methanol = 6.0 / 9.0 = 0.67
Answer: 0.67
