What is the mole fraction of KCI in a mixture of 0.564 g NaCl, 1.52 g KCI,
and 0.857 g LiCl?
Molar Mass
NaCl: 58.44 g/mol
KCI: 74.55 g/mol
Lici: 42.39 g/mol

Mole fraction of KCl = 0.4056

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of each compound. This can be obtained as follow:

For NaCl:

Mass NaCl = 0.564 g

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Mole of NaCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of NaCl = 0.564 / 58.44

Mole of NaCl = 0.0097 mole

For KCl:

Mass KCl = 1.52 g

Molar mass of KCl = 74.55 g/mol

Mole of KCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of KCl = 1.52 / 74.55

Mole of KCl = 0.0204 mole

For LiCl:

Mass LiCl = 0.857 g

Molar mass of LiCl = 42.39 g/mol

Mole of LiCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of LiCl = 0.857 / 42.39

Mole of LiCl = 0.0202 mole

Next, we shall determine the total mole in the mixture. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 0.0097 mole

Mole of KCl = 0.0204 mole

Mole of LiCl = 0.0202 mole

Total mole =?

Total mole = Mole of NaCl + Mole of KCl + Mole of LiCl

Total mole = 0.0097 + 0.0204 + 0.0202

Total mole = 0.0503 mole

Finally, we shall determine the mole fraction of KCl in the mixture. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of KCl = 0.0204 mole

Total mole = 0.0503 mole

Mole fraction of KCl =?

Mole fraction of KCl = Mole of KCl /Total mole

Mole fraction of KCl = 0.0204 / 0.0503

Mole fraction of KCl = 0.4056
