Calculate the mole fraction of solute when 355 g of CO2 is in 0.409 L of water (density of water is 1.00 g/mL)
Given
mass of CO2 = 355g
Volume of water = 0.409lit
density of water = 1.00 g/ml
we know
density = mass / volume
then, mass of water = density * volume
= 1.00g/ml * 409 ml = 409 g
we know mole fraction of CO2 = (mass of CO2) / (mass of CO2 + mass of water)
= (355 g) / (355g + 409g) = 0.465
