   Q.A binary solution has two components 'A' and 'B'. The mole fraction of components 'A' is 0.5, then the number of moles of components 'A' and 'B' in the solution is

   (a) $n_A > n_B$

   (b) $n_A < n_B$

   (c) $n_A = n_B$

   (d) zero

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Equal mole fractions (0.5 each) mean equal moles of A and B.

   For a binary solution of components A and B, the mole fractions must add up to 1:

   $x_A + x_B = 1$

   Given $x_A = 0.5$, therefore $x_B = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5$.

   Since $x_A = \dfrac{n_A}{n_A + n_B}$ and $x_B = \dfrac{n_B}{n_A + n_B}$, and $x_A = x_B$, it follows that: …

   Q.What is the mole fraction of benzene in solution containing 30% by mass in carbon tetrachloride?

   (a) 0.540

   (b) 0.459

   (c) 0.500

   (d) 0.300

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Taking 100 g of solution (30 g benzene + 70 g CCl₄) and converting to moles gives a benzene mole fraction of 0.459.

   Assume 100 g of solution: mass of benzene ($C_6H_6$, M = 78 g mol⁻¹) = 30 g; mass of $CCl_4$ (M = 12 + 4×35.5 = 154 g mol⁻¹) = 70 g.

   $n_{benzene} = \frac{30}{78} = 0.3846\ mol$

   $n_{CCl_4} = \frac{70}{154} = 0.4545\ mol$

   (a) 0.5 M

   (b) 0.25 M

   (c) 2.5 M

   (d) Mole fraction

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution.

   Concentration of a solution can be expressed in several ways — molarity, molality, normality and mole fraction — and each has its own defining ratio.

   Molarity (M) is defined as:

   M = (Number of moles of solute) / (Volume of solution in litres)

   This is different from:

   • Molality — moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
