Answer:
Given:-
→ Mass of urea = 60g
→ Mass of water = 90g
To find:-
→ Mole fraction of solute.
Solution:-
It is clear that urea is solute and water is solvent. So, we have to calculate the mole fraction of urea.
• Molar mass of Carbon (C) = 12 g/mol
• Molar mass of Hydrogen (H) = 1 g/mol
• Molar mass of Oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol
• Molar mass of Nitrogen (N) = 14 g/mol
Hence, molar mass of urea [CH₄N₂O] :-
= 12 + 1×4 + 14×2 + 16
= 12 + 4 + 28 + 16
= 60 g/mol
And, molar mass of water [H₂O] :-
= 1×2 + 16
= 18 g/mol
Number of moles in 60g of urea :-
= Given Mass/Molar mass
= 60/60
= 1 mole
Number of moles in 90g of water :-
= Given Mass/Molar mass
= 90/18
= 5 moles
Mole fraction of solute :-
= Mole of solute/Total mole in solution
= 1/(1 + 5)
= 1/6
Thus, mole fraction of solute [urea] is 1/6 [Option.b]
