Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.091}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The mole fraction of a component in a mixture is the number of moles of the component divided by the total number of moles of all the components, multiplied by 100.
The symbol X is used to represent the mole fraction.
[tex]X_A=\dfrac{\text{number of moles of component A}}{\text{number of moles of all the components}}\times 100[/tex]
1. Convert masses in grams to number of moles
Formula:
a) Lithium bromide
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\dfrac{174g}{86.845g/mol}=2.00mol[/tex]
b) Water
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\dfrac{360g}{18.015g/mol}=19.98mol\approx 20.0mol[/tex]
c) Total number of moles = 2.00 mol + 20.0 mol = 22.0 mol
2. Mole fraction of lithium bromide
[tex]\text{Mole fraction of lithium bromide}=\dfrac{2.00}{22.0}=0.091[/tex]
