JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

What is the mole fraction of water in \(10\)% by weight (w/w) of aqueous urea solution?
[Given: Molar mass of H, O, C and N are \(1\), \(16\), \(12\) and \(14\) g mol\(^{-1}\) respectively.]

  1. A \(0.825\)
  2. B \(0.032\)
  3. C \(0.867\)
  4. D \(0.967\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.967\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(10\%\) w/w aqueous urea solution means \(10\) g of urea is present in \(100\) g of solution. Mass of urea \(= 10\) g Mass of water \(= 100 - 10 = 90\) g Molar mass of urea (\(\text{NH}_2\text{CONH}_2\)) \(= 14 + 2 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2 = 60\) g mol\(^{-1}\) Molar mass of water…
