Solution
The correct option is B 0.25 Given:
Molarity of the solution = 10 M
Assuming 1 litre of the solution,
Moles of glycol = 10 mol
Molar mass of glycol = 62 g/mol
Mass of glycol = 620 g
Volume of the solution = 1 L
Density of the solution = 1.16 g/mL
Mass of the solution = 1160 g
Mass of water = 540 g
Moles of water = 30 mol
Total moles of glycol and water = 40 mol
Mole fraction = 1040=0.25
