<u>Answer:</u> The weight fraction of ethanol in the mixture is

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of water = 1 kg = 2.205 lb   (Conversion factor:  1 kg = 2.205 lb)

Mass of ethanol = 1.9 lb

Mass of ethyl acetate = 4.6 lb

Mass of mixture = [2.205 + 1.9 + 4.6] = 8.705 lb

To calculate the percentage composition of ethanol in mixture, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of ethanol}=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100

Mass of mixture = 8.705 lb

Mass of ethanol = 1.9 lb

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ composition of ethanol}=\frac{1.9lb}{8.705lb}\times 100=21.8\%

Hence, the weight fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 21.8 %
