If the mole fraction of ethanol in a solution of ethanol in water is 0.050 , then find the molarity of the given solution.

  1. A \(3.5 \mathrm{M}\)
  2. B \(2.8 \mathrm{M}\)
  3. C \(1.7 \mathrm{M}\)
  4. D \(0.95 \mathrm{M}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2.8 \mathrm{M}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moles of ethanol \(=0.050\) Moles of water \(=1-0.050=0.95 \mathrm{~mol}\). Mass of ethanol \(=0.05 \times 46=2.3 \mathrm{~g}\). Mass of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}=0.95 \times 18=17.1 \mathrm{~g}\) Mass of solution \(=2.3+17.1 \mathrm{~g}=19.4 \mathrm{~g}\) Assuming, density of…
