Mass of solute, W_B = 8.05 g[/tex]
Molar mass of solute, M_B = 32 g /mol
Mass of solvent,[tex]W_A = 91.95 g[/tex]
Molar mass of solvent,[tex]M_A = 18 g /mol[/tex]
Number of mol of solvent is
[tex]n_A = W_A /M_A[/tex]
[tex]= 91.95 / 18 = 5.108 mol[/tex]
Number of mol of solute is
n_B = W_B /M_B
= 8.05 / 32 = 0.25 mol
Mole fraction of solvent is the number of moe of solvent divided by total nmber of mole of solute and solvent as follows:
[tex]X_A = n_A /(n_A + n_B)[/tex]
[tex]= 5.108 / (5.108 + 0.25) = 0.954[/tex]
Thus, mole fraction of solvent is 0.954
