Question

A solution contains 72.0 g of HCI and 468 g of (C6H6). what is the mole fraction of benzene

Answer 1

Molar mass (MM) of benzene C6H6
C = 6 * 12 = 72u
H = 6 * 1 = 6u
MM C6H6 = 72 + 6 = 78 g / mol
Benzene - Molar Mass = 78 g --------- 1 mol
Of A Mix has 468 g -------------- x

78x = 468
X = 468/78
X = 6 moles

Molar mass (MM) of Hydrochloric Acid HCl H = 1 * 1 = 1u
CI = 1 * 35 = 35u
MM HCl = 1 + 35 = 36 g / mol

Hydrochloric Acid - Molar Mass = 36 g ---------- 1 mol
Of A Mix has 72 g ------------ y

36y = 72
Y = 72/36
Y = 2 moles

Thus, a mixture has a total of 8 moles (6 mol + 2 mol).
Dividing One Mole Amount of Each Substance by the Number of Total Mole Amounts, Then we will obtain a Molar Fraction of Each:
Molar fraction make benzene = (6/8) simplify 2 = 3/4
Molar Fraction to make Hydrochloric Acid = (2/8) = simplify 2 = 1/4

Note:. The sum of the molar fractions of the always give goes 1, we have: 3/4 + 1/4 = 1


ANSWER:

`\boxed{(3)/(4)}`
