JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3mc140
A solution is made from 23 g of ethanol (CX2HX5OH, M=46) and 90 g of water (M=18). Find the mole fraction of ethanol multiplied by 100, to two decimal places.
Numerical answer type, tolerance 0.02.
Answer: 9.09
Moles of ethanol = 23/46 = 0.5; moles of water = 90/18 = 5. x = 0.5/5.5 = 0.0909, so 100x = 9.09.
