Wittaler [7]3 years ago

The student was not successful.

Consider the standard reduction potentials.

Li⁺ + e⁻ ⇌ Li;                       E° = -3.04 V

2H₂O + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ + 2OH⁻; E° = -0.83 V

To reduce Li⁺ to Li, the student must apply 3.04 V.

However, it takes only 0.83 V to reduce water to hydrogen.

Thus, the student will get H₂ instead of Li.

What is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.19 m aqueous solution?
Bumek [7]
Molality= mol/ Kg

if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute. 

the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution

1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water. 

2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water 

molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol

1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol

3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution

4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543
