  • Calculating Mole Fraction of NaCl in Water: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mole fraction of NaCl in the solution:

    1. Calculate the total moles:

    * Moles of NaCl = 18 mol

    * Moles of water (H₂O) = 100 g / 18.015 g/mol ≈ 5.55 mol

    (We use the molar mass of water to convert grams to moles)

    * Total moles = 18 mol + 5.55 mol ≈ 23.55 mol

    2. Calculate the mole fraction of NaCl:

    * Mole fraction of NaCl = (Moles of NaCl) / (Total moles)

    * Mole fraction of NaCl = 18 mol / 23.55 mol ≈ 0.764

    Therefore, the mole fraction of NaCl in the solution is approximately 0.764.
