Answer:
24.9%
Explanation:
According to this question, mole fraction of NaCl in an aqueous solution is 0.0927. This means that the mole percent of NaCl in the solution is:
0.0927 × 100 = 9.27%
Let's assume that the solution contains water (solvent) + NaCl (solute), hence, the mole fraction of water will be;
100% - 9.27% = 90.73%
THEREFORE, it can be said that, NaCl contains 0.0927moles while H2O contains 9.073moles
N.B: mole = mass/molar mass
Given the Molar Mass
NaCl: 58.44 g/mol
H2O: 18.016 g/mol
For NaCl;
0.0927 = mass/58.44
mass = 0.0927 × 58.44
5.42g
For H2O;
9.073 = mass/18.016
mass = 9.073 × 18.016
= 16.35g
Total mass of solution = 16.35g + 5.42g = 21.77g
Mass percent of NaCl = mass of NaCl/total mass × 100
% mass of NaCl = 5.42g/21.77g × 100
= 0.249 × 100
= 24.9%
