2. Determine the mole fraction of zinc(II) sulfite in
a 4.22 M aqueous solution of zinc(II) sulfite. The density of the
solution is 1.01 g mL-1.
answer is not 0.0699
4.22M aqueous solution of zinc(II) sulfite
4.22mole/L aqueous solution of zinc(II) sulfite
1liter of solution contains 4.22moles of zinc(II) sulfite
1000ml of solution contains 4.22moles of zinc(II) sulfite
mass of solution = volume * density
= 1000*1.01 = 1010g
mass of solute (zinc(II) sulfite) = no of moles* gram molar mass
= 4.22*145.22 = 612.82g
mass of solvent (water) = 1010-612.82 = 397.18g
no of moles of H2O = 397.18/18 = 22.065moles
mole fraction of zinc(II) sulfite = no of moleszinc(II) sulfite/zinc(II) sulfite+ no of moles of H2O
= 4.22/4.22+22.065
= 4.22/26.285 = 0.1605 >>>> answer
