Question
Calculate the mole fraction of water in a solution containing 92 g of glycerol ( C₃H₈O₃ ) and 108 g of water. (Molar mass: C₃H₈O₃ = 92 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol )
Explanation
Given:
Calculate the mole fraction of water in a solution containing 92 g of glycerol ( C₃H₈O₃ ) and 108 g of water. (Molar mass: C₃H₈O₃ = 92 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol )
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Moles of glycerol = 92/92 = 1 mol.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
Moles of water = 108/18 = 6 mol . Total moles = 1 + 6 = 7. Mole fraction of water = 6/7 = 0.857 .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
