<span>Pillow lavas have pillow-like structures and are formations that push lava on the surface of the earth underwater. Magma comes out of ocean ridges as pillow lava and forms a new oceanic crust, supporting sea floor spreading. The older crust gets pushed away from the ridge and pushes on to the continents, making them drift.</span>

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.

What is the mole fraction of each component in a solution made by mixing 300 g of ethanol(C2H5OH) and 500 g of water?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol and water in the solution are 0.19 and 0.81 respectively.

Explanation:

The Molar Fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution, which are calculated by adding the moles of solute (s) and solvent.

It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of one of the components by the total number of moles of the solution.

The sum of all the molar fractions of the substances present in a solution is equal to 1.

So, the expression to calculate the mole fraction is:

Molar fraction (Xi)=\frac{moles of sudstance}{total moles of the solution}

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

  • Ethanol 46 \frac{g}{mol}
  • Water 18 \frac{g}{mol}

the number of moles that represent the mass quantities is calculated as:

  • Moles of ethanol: 300 grams* \frac{1 mol}{46 grams} = 6.52 moles
  • Moles of water: 500 grams* \frac{1 mol}{18 grams} = 27.78 moles

So the total moles in solution are 6.52 moles + 27.78 moles = 34.3 moles

The mole fraction of ethanol in the solution is calculated as:

mole fraction of ethanol=x_{ethanol} =\frac{6.52 moles}{34.3 moles}

x_{ethanol} =0.19

The mole fraction of water in the solution is calculated as:

mole fraction of water=x_{water} =\frac{27.78 moles}{34.3 moles}

x_{water} =0.81

Then:

x_{water} +x_{ethanol} = 0.81 + 0.19

x_{water} +x_{ethanol} =1

<u><em>The mole fraction of ethanol and water in the solution are 0.19 and 0.81 respectively.</em></u>
