NaOH solution is prepared in water.
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g
Mass of NaOH = 30 g
Molar mass of water = 18 g
Given mass of water = 70 g
Number of moles of NaOH = 3040 = 0.75 moles
Number of moles of H2O = 7018   = 3.88 moles
Mole fraction of NaOH = 0.75/0.75+3.88
=0.161

anitarawat220: At last don't understood why 0.75/0.75+3.88
anitarawat220: Please reply to my question
anitarawat220: Oh I understood bcz we find mole fraction of naoh so at numerator we write moles of naoh and in denominator no.of moles of h2o+naoh

30% NaOH means 100g of solution contains 30g of NaOH
Mass of water in solution = 100 - 30 = 70g

Moles of
NaOH = 30 / 40 = 0.75
H2O = 70 / 18 = 3.8

Mole fraction of NaOH = [(0.75) / (0.75 + 3.8)]
= 0.165

ishaal: thanks for your answer
