a solution contains 72.0 g of HCI and 468 g of (C6H6). what is the mole fraction of benzene

Verified Answer :

Molar mass (MM) of benzene C6H6

C = 6 12 = 72u

H = 6
1 = 6u
MM C6H6 = 72 + 6 = 78 g / mol

Benzene - Molar Mass = 78 g --------- 1 mol

Of A Mix has 468 g -------------- x


78x = 468

X = 468/78

X = 6 moles

 
Molar mass (MM) of Hydrochloric Acid HCl
H = 1 1 = 1u

CI = 1
35 = 35u
MM HCl = 1 + 35 = 36 g / mol

 
Hydrochloric Acid - Molar Mass = 36 g ---------- 1 mol

Of A Mix has 72 g ------------ y

36y = 72

Y = 72/36

Y = 2 moles

 
Thus, a mixture has a total of 8 moles (6 mol + 2 mol).

Dividing One Mole Amount of Each Substance by the Number of Total Mole Amounts,
Then we will obtain a Molar Fraction of Each:

Molar fraction make benzene = (6/8) simplify 2 = 3/4

Molar Fraction to make Hydrochloric Acid = (2/8) = simplify 2 = 1/4


Note:. The sum of the molar fractions of the always give goes 1, we have: 3/4 + 1/4 = 1

 

ANSWER: 
\(\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}\)
