\(3.1 \mathrm{~g}\) of a compound, ' \(X\) ' (molar mass \(=62 \mathrm{~g}\) \(\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) ) is dissolved in \(19.5 \mathrm{~g}\) of other compound, \(Y\) (molar mass \(=78 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ). The ratio of mole fractions of \(X\) and \(Y\) in the solution is

  1. A \(1: 5\)
  2. B \(5: 1\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

( ) The number of moles of \[ X=\frac{W_X}{M_X}=\frac{3.1 \mathrm{~g}}{62 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=0.05 \mathrm{~mol} \] The number of moles of \[ Y=\frac{W_Y}{M_Y}=\frac{19.5 \mathrm{~g}}{78 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=0.25 \mathrm{~mol} \] Mole fraction of…
