Question:

Calculate the molarity of a solution of ethanol in water in which the mole fraction of ethanol is 0.040 (assume the density of water to be one).

Answer:

Mole fraction of C₂H₅OH= .................1

Let the moles of C₂H₅OH= X

Now density of water = 1 (given)

And the weight of 1000ml of water = volume * density (from density = mass/volume)

= 1000 x 1=1000g

Therefore moles of water = 1000/18= 55.55 mol (18g is molecular mass of water)

Also mole fraction of C₂H₅OH= 0.040 (given)

Putting the values in equation 1,we get

=0.040=X/X+55.55

=0.040X+2.222 = X

OR X= 2.3145 mol

Molarity of solution = 2.314 M

In this question water density given but still need to solve this question not have density of solution so a/c to my opinion that question fandamentically wrong. And if think water density is equal to solution density than answers will be2.01M
