Question : 43
Total: 53
Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in solution containing 30% by mass in carbon tetrachloride.
Solution:  
Let mass of solution =100 g
Mass of benzene in the solution =30 g
Mass of carbon tetrachloride =10030 g=70g
Molar mass of benzene ( C6H6)=78gmol1
No. of moles of benzene =
Mass
Molarmass

=
30g
78gmol1
=0.385

No. of moles of benzene =
Mass
Molarmass

=
70g
154gmol1
=0.385

Total number of moles of solution =0.385+0.455=0.84
Mole fraction of benzene =

=0.458

∴ Mole fraction of CCl4=10.458=0.542
