Calculate the mole fraction ofbenzene in solution containing 30% by mass in carbon tetrachloride.



Answer -

Let the total mass of thesolution be 100 g and the mass of benzene be 30 g.

тИ┤Mass ofcarbon tetrachloride = (100 тИТ 30)g

= 70 g

Molar mass of benzene (C6H6) = (6 ├Ч 12 + 6 ├Ч 1) g molтИТ1

= 78 g molтИТ1

тИ┤Numberof moles of┬а

= 0.3846 mol

Molar mass of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) = 1 ├Ч 12 + 4 ├Ч 35.5

= 154 g molтИТ1

тИ┤Numberof moles of CCl4

= 0.4545 mol

Thus, the molefraction of C6H6┬аis given as:
