    A solution contains\[25%\text{ }Hp,\text{ }25%\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] and 50%\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]by mass. The mole fraction of\[{{H}_{2}}O\]would be

    A)  0.25                                      

    B)  2.5

    C)  0.502                                   

    D)  5.03

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Mole fraction of\[{{H}_{2}}O\] \[=\frac{number\text{ }of\text{ }moles\text{ }of}{total\text{ }number\text{ }of\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }all\text{ }components}\] Let the total mass of solution\[=100\text{ }g\] Mass of \[{{H}_{2}}O=25g\] Mass of \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH=25g\] Mass of \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH=50\text{ }g\] Moles of\[{{H}_{2}}O=\frac{25}{18}=1.388\] (\[\because \]Molar mass of\[{{H}_{2}}O=18\]) Moles of \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH=\frac{25}{46}=0.543\] (\[\because \]Molar mass\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH=46\]) Moles of\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH=\frac{50}{60}=0.833\] (\[\because \]Molar mass of\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH=60\]) Total no. of moles\[=1.388+0.543+0.833\]     \[=2.764\] \[\therefore \]Mole fraction of\[{{H}_{2}}O=\frac{1.388}{2.764}\]                                                 \[=0.502\]
