Hello! We just had a lab where we took measurements of a water-ethanol mix with a densitometer and got volume of ethanol/(total volume of ethanol and water together) and I am stuck on how to convert that to mole fraction of ethanol? Thank you so much!

2 NOCl(g) <=> 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g), K= 1.6E-5. Calculate the concentrations when:
a). 6.0 mol of NO and 2.0 mol of Cl2 in a 1.2-L flask
b). 2.2 mol of NOCl, 2.2 mol of NO, and 1.1 mol of Cl2 in a 1.0-L flask
c). 1.01 mol/L concentration of all three gases
Please show work and don't just solve the top problem. I need all three and I don't know how to correctly solve either of them!!

Calculate the ∆Hº (on a per mole basis) for the HCl/NaOH neutralization. You may assume that the specific heat and density of the resulting solution to be the same as water. Be sure to use the combined total volumes of HCl and NAOH when calculating the total mass for this reaction. Remember to take into account the moles of limiting reagent when calculating the ∆Hº on a per mole basis.
Exact Concentrations: HCl = .9637 NaOH = 1.016
Trial 1 : temp of HCl = 19 degrees C Temp of NaOH = 19 degrees C constant temp of HCl & NaOH = 24.5 degrees C
Trial 2 : temp of HCl = 20 degrees C Temp of NaOH = 20 degrees C constant temp of HCl & NaOH = 24 degrees C

In addition to mass balance, oxidation-reduction reactions must be balanced such that the number of electrons lost in the oxidation equals the number of electrons gained in the reduction. This balancing can be done by two methods: the half-reaction method or the oxidation number method. The half-reaction method balances the electrons lost in the oxidation half-reaction with the electrons gained in the reduction half-reaction. In either method H2O(l), OH?(aq), and H+(aq) may be added to complete the mass balance. Which substances are used depends on the reaction conditions.
Acidic solution
In acidic solution, the nitrate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is
NO3?(aq)+Sn2+(aq)?NO2(aq)+Sn4+(aq)
Since this reaction takes place in acidic solution, H2O(l) and H+(aq) will be involved in the reaction. Places for these species are indicated by the blanks in the following restatement of the equation:
NO3?(aq)+Sn2+(aq)+ ????NO2(aq)+Sn4+(aq)+ ???
Part A
What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and H+(aq) in the appropriate blanks. Your answer should have six terms.
Enter the equation coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 2,2,1,4,4,3). Include coefficients of 1, as required, for grading purposes.
Basic solution
Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, is a powerful oxidizing agent. The products of a given redox reaction with the permanganate ion depend on the reaction conditions used. In basic solution, the following equation represents the reaction of this ion with a solution containing sodium iodide:
MnO4?(aq)+I?(aq)?MnO2(s)+I2(aq)
Since this reaction takes place in basic solution, H2O(l) and OH?(aq) will be shown in the reaction. Places for these species are indicated by the blanks in the following restatement of the equation: MnO4?(aq)+I?(aq)+ ????MnO2(s)+I2(aq)+ ???
Part B
What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and OH?(aq) in the blanks where appropriate. Your answer should have six terms.
Enter the equation coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 2,2,1,4,4,3). Include coefficients of 1, as required, for grading purposes.
