Question

Calculate the mole percentage of ch3oh and h2o respectively in 60 by mass aqueous solution of ch3oh

Answer 1

Answer:

% CH3OH by mass = 60 %

mass of CH3OH ÷ mass of solution = 60/100

Let, the mass of the solution be 100 gm

Therefore, mass of CH3OH = 60 gm

and mass of H20 = 40 gm

moles of CH3OH = 60/32

moles of H20 = 40/18

% mole of CH3OH =( moles of CH3OH ÷ total moles ) X 100 = [60/32 ÷ (60/32 + 40/18)] X 100

= 45.76%

% mole of H20 = 100 - 45.76 = 54.24%
