\(x\) grams of water is mixed in \(69 \mathrm{~g}\) of ethanol. Mole fraction of ethanol in the resultant solution is 0.6 . What is the value of \(x\) in grams?

  1. A \(54\)
  2. B \(36\)
  3. C \(180\)
  4. D \(18\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to question, \[ \begin{aligned} & w_A=x \mathrm{~g}, m_A=18, X_A=1-0.6=0.4 \\ & w_B=69 \mathrm{~g}, m_B=46, X_B=0.4 \end{aligned} \] We know that, \[ X_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B} \]…
