<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Molarity of barium chloride solution = 1.30 M

This means that 1.30 moles of barium chloride is present in 1 L or 1000 mL of solution.

  • To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 1.230 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1000 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.230g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.230g/mL\times 1000mL)=1230g

  • To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Moles of barium chloride = 1.30 moles

Molar mass of barium chloride = 208 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.30mol=\frac{\text{Mass of barium chloride}}{208g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of barium chloride}=(1.30mol\times 208g/mol)=270.4g

Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of barium chloride

Mass of water = 1230 - 270.4 = 959.6 g

<u>Calculating the moles of water:</u>

Given mass of water = 959.6 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{959.6g}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of water}=53.31mol

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

  • <u>For barium chloride:</u>

\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}{n_{\text{(water)}}+n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}

\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{1.30}{1.30+53.31}\\\\\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=0.024

Hence, the mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024

What is the oxidation number of tin (Sn) in the compound Na2SnO2? A. -2 B. 0 C. +2 D. +3
Allisa [31]

O.N. of Na = +1

O.N. of O = -2

Let, O.N. of Tin = x

1*2 + x + -2*2 = 0

2+x-4 = 0

x-2 = 0

x = 2

SO OPTION C IS YOUR ANSWER......
