In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol when 10.00 mL of pure ethanol is combined with 2.00 mL of water? The volume of 10 mL of the solution must be measured. What vessel should you use to take this volume? What should be done to prepare the vessel?

    The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

    Explanation:

    For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6
