Answer: mole fraction of methanol = 0.590
mole fraction of ethanol = 0.410
Explanation:
We are given:
Equal masses of methanol 
and ethanol 
are mixed.
let the mass be x g.
Calculating the moles of methanol in the solution, by using the equation:
Calculating the moles of ethanol in the solution, by using the equation:
To calculate the mole fraction of methanol, we use the equation:
To calculate the mole fraction of ethanol, we use the equation:
Thus mole fraction of methanol is 0.590 and mole fraction of ethanol 0.410 in three significant figures.
Answer:
B) an anion
Explanation:
During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.
The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.
An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom. The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.
Na+ + Cl- → NaCl
because the gas particles are forced closer together.
