Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.0697

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M(\mathrm{CH_3COOH}) = 60.052 \text{ g/mol}\) \(M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 18.015 \text{ g/mol}\) \(X_{\mathrm{CH_3COOH}} = \frac{n_{\mathrm{CH_3COOH}}}{n_{\mathrm{CH_3COOH}} + n_{\mathrm{H_2O}}} = \frac{\frac{20}{60.052}}{\frac{20}{60.052} + \frac{80}{18.015}}\)…
