A solution contains 0.066 moles of methanol, 0.603 moles of ethanol and 3.85 moles of water. what is the mole fraction of each componet in solution? ethanol, methanol, water.
Solution
total number of moles = 0.066 + 0.603 + 3.85
= 4.519
mole fraction of ethanol = 0.603 / 4.519
= 0.133
mole fraction of methanol = 0.066 / 4.519
= 0.0146 on rounding off we get 0.015
mole fraction of water = 3.85 / 4.519
= 0.852
