Q.

A solution is prepared by adding 1 mole ethyl alcohol in 9 mole water. The mass percent of solute in the solution is ______ (Integer Answer)

(Given: Molar mass in g mol-1 Ethyl alcohol : 46, water : 18)                      [2024]


Ans.

(22)

             WC2H5OH=nC2H5OH×MC2H5OH=1mol×46g mol-1=46g

             WH2O=nH2O×MH2O=9mol×18g mol-1=162g

             Mass percent of solute=WsoluteWsolution×100

                                                        =WC2H5OHWH2O+WC2H5OH×100

                                                        =46162+46×100=22.11%22%
