A solution is made by mixing 37.g of thiophene C4H4S and 72.g of heptane C7H16. Calculate the mole fraction of thiophene in this solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Sagot :

Answer:

0.38

Explanation:

Molar mass of thiophene= 84g/mol

Mass of thiophene = 37g

Number of moles= 37/84= 0.44 moles

Molar mass of heptane= 100 g/mol

Mass of heptane = 72g

Number of moles = 72/100= 0.72 moles

Total number of moles= 0.44 + 0.72= 1.16 moles

mole fraction of thiophene = 0.44/1.16= 0.38
