A homogeneous mixture of two or more components is called a solution. The properties and composition of the mixture are uniform throughout the solution. A solution is made up of a solvent and a solute. The solvent is present in the largest quantity and the solute is present in lesser quantity. The solute is dissolved in the solvent. The solute and the solvent together form a solution.
|
Definition: The different types of solution based on the physical state of the solvent are- gaseous solutions, liquid solutions and solid solutions. A solution in which the solvent cannot dissolve any more of the solute is called a saturated solution. |

Q4. What is the mole fraction of ethylene glycol in a solution containing 20g by mass?
(a) 0.022
(b) 0.054
(c) 0.068
(d) 0.090
Answer: (c)
The mole fraction of ethylene glycol is calculated as shown below:
The molecular mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) = 24 + 6 + 32 = 62 g/mol.
The mass of ethylene glycol in solution = 20g.
The mass of water = 100 – 20 = 80g.
Thus, number of moles of ethylene glycol = mass of ethylene glycol ÷ molecular mass of ethylene glycol
Moles of ethylene glycol = 20 ÷ 62 = 0.322 moles.
Similarly, the number of moles of water = 80 ÷ 18 = 4.444 moles.
The mole fraction of ethylene glycol = 0.322 ÷ (0.322 + 4.444) = 0.068
