Calculate the mole fraction of A if 25 gm of it is dissolved in 50 moles of B. Given the molar mass of A is 25 gm/mole.
Explanation :
Given :
Mass of A, mA = 25 gm
Molar mass of A = 25 gm/mole
Number of moles of B, nB = 50 moles
Step 1 : Calculate moles of A
Number of moles of A,
(nA is moles of A & nB is moles of B)
Moles = mass ÷ molar mass
nA = mA ÷ MA = 25 ÷ 25 = 1 mole
Step 2 : Calculate mole fraction of A
Mole fraction of A,
xA = nA / (nA+nB)
= 1 / (1 + 50)
= 0.0196.
Mole fraction is 0.0916
