Asolution is composed of 85.5 wt% methanol in water. find the mol fraction of methanol in the solution.

0.7681

Explanation:

Given that the mass percentage of methanol = 85.5 %

which means that 85.5 g of methanol is present in 100 g of the solution.

Thus, mass of water = 100 g - 85.5 g = 14.5 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Mass of methanol = 85.5 g

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Moles of methanol = 85.5 g / 32.04 g/mol = 2.6685 moles

Mass of water = 14.5 g

Molar mass of methanol = 18 g/mol

Moles of methanol = 14.5 g / 18 g/mol = 0.8056 moles

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Applying values as:

Mole fraction of methanol in the solution = 0.7681

answer: lol

explanation:

lol

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
