Chapter 12.4, Problem 12.7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mole fraction of benzene and toluene in a solution containing $35.6\text{ g}$ of toluene and $\text{125 g}$ of benzene has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

A solution is at least made up of two components.  Mole fraction of a component in the solution correlates to the ratio of number of moles of that component to the total number of moles.  It is expressed as,

$\text{Mole fraction = }\frac{number\text{ of moles of a component}}{total\text{ number of moles in the solution}}$

To determine:

Mole fraction of toluene and benzene
