Chapter 13, Problem 32PS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass and mole fraction of glycerol has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Mole fraction: Amount of that component divided by the total amount of all of the components of the mixture $\left({\text{ n}}_{\text{A}}{\text{ + n}}_{\text{B}}{\text{ + n}}_{\text{C }}\text{+ }\mathrm{...}\right)$.

${\text{Mole fraction of A (χ}}_{\text{A}}\text{)= }\frac{{\text{n}}_{\text{A}}}{{\text{ n}}_{\text{A}}{\text{ + n}}_{\text{B}}{\text{ + n}}_{\text{C }}\text{+ }\mathrm{...}}$
