Use the amount (mol) of solute and amount (mol) of solvent to calculate the mole fraction. An aqueous solution of ethanol, CH3CH

2OH, has a concentration of 0.216 mol/L and has a density of 0.996 g/mL. What are the mass percent and mole fraction of CH3CH2OH in this solution

Answer:

%m/m = 0.9975%

Xₐ = 0.0039

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need various data. First to all, we need tje molecular mass of the ethanol. this can be obtained in handbooks, or simply taking the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol), Hydrogen (1 g/mol) and oxygen (16 g/mol) and summing those values:

MM C₂H₆O = (2*12) + (6*1) + (16*1) = 46 g/mol

Now, there is an expression that is commonly used to determine the molarity of a solution given the mass percent and density, and assuming of course, 1 liter of solution:

M = d * %m/m * 1000 / MM * 100     (1)

From here, we can solve for %m/m:

%m/m = M * MM * 100 / d * 1000

As the problem is not saying the volume of solution, we can easily assume we have 1 liter of solution. Therefore, the %m/m replacing the given data is:

%m/m = 0.216 *46 * 100 / 0.996 * 1000

<h2>%m/m = 0.9975%</h2>

To get the mole fraction, we first need to get the volume of solvent. From the density, we can get the mass of solution:

m = V * d

m = 1000 * 0.996 = 996 g of solution.

The mass of solute is:

m = 0.216 mol/L * 46 g/mol

m = 9.936 g/L, or simply we have 9.936 g of ethanol in 1 L of solution.

The mass of solvent:

solvent = 996 - 9.936 = 986.064 g

The molecular mass of water, so we can get the moles is 18 g/mol so:

moles water = 986.064 / 18 = 54.78

Finally the mole fraction:

Xₐ = 0.216 / (0.216 + 54.78)

<h2>Xₐ = 0.0039</h2>

Hope this helps

Best example of heterogeneous mixture
barxatty [35]

Answer: Hello, Oil and water form a heterogeneous mixture.

Orange juice with pulp is a heterogeneous mixture. ...

Sandy water is a heterogeneous mixture. ...

A pepperoni pizza is a heterogeneous mixture.

Explanation: A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture. ... A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers. Each of the layers is called a phase.

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization
pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

How many atoms of gold are in a pure gold coin weighing 12.0g?
grigory [225]
12.0g x 1 mol / 63.546g = 0.188839581mol 

<span>So, for every 1 mole, we have 6.022 x 10^23 of whatever we're measuring. This gives us a conversion factor of (1 mole / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms) or (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mole).
</span>
0.188839581 mol x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms) / 1 mol = 1.137191955 x 10^23 

<span>Remember from before that we are limited to 3 significant figures. Since our calculations are complete, we can now round down to: 1.14 x 10^23 </span>

<span>That should be your answer!

Hope it helps!
