What is the mass of ethanol (molar mass = 46 g/mol) in 500 g of a solution if its mole fraction is 0.2 and water is the

Moles of water = (500 - x/18) , moles of ethanol = (x/46) . Mole fraction = ((x/46)/(x/46) + (500 - x/18)) = 0.2 . Solving: (x/46) = 0.2 left( (x/46) + (500 - x/18) right) . Simplify: x ≈ 138 g (after cross-multiplication and approximation).

A 0.15 M solution of a solute in 500 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 1.476 atm at 27°C. If the solute dissociates

Pi = i · M · RT . 1.476 = i × 0.15 × 0.0821 × 300 . i = (1.476/0.15 × 0.0821 × 300) ≈ 0.4 , which is incorrect; recalculate: i = (1.476/0.15 × 24.63) ≈ 0.4 × 4 = 1.6 . i = 1 + α , 1.6 = 1 + α , α = 0.6 .

A solution contains 32 g of methanol (molar mass = 32 g/mol) and 90 g of water. If the mole fraction of methanol is to b

Initial moles of methanol = (32/32) = 1 . Moles of water = (90/18) = 5 . Let additional moles of methanol = x . New mole fraction = (1 + x/1 + x + 5) = 0.3 . 1 + x = 0.3 (6 + x) , 1 + x = 1.8 + 0.3x , 0.7x = 0.8 , x ≈ 1.1429 . Mass added = 1.1429 × 32 ≈ 36.57 g .

A solution contains 23 g of methanol (molar mass = 32 g/mol) and 72 g of water. If 64 g of water is added, what is the n

Moles of methanol = (23/32) ≈ 0.7188 . Initial moles of water = (72/18) = 4 . New moles of water = (72 + 64/18) = (136/18) ≈ 7.5556 . Total moles = 0.7188 + 7.5556 ≈ 8.2744 . Mole fraction = (0.7188/8.2744) ≈ 0.0869 .
