A solution is prepared by mixing 25 mL pentane (C3H12, d =
0.63 g/cm) with 45 mL hexane (C6H14, d = 0.66 g/cmº).
Assuming that the volumes add on mixing, calculate the mass
percent, mole fraction, molality, and molarity of the pentane.​

The mass percent of pentane has been 22.55%. The mole fraction of pentane has been 0.387. The molality of pentane has been 7.34 m. The molarity of pentane in the solution has been 3.11 M.

The mass percent has been the amount of pentane present in total volume of solution. The mass of pentane has been derived from density as:

[tex]\rm Density=\dfrac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

  • The given density of pentane has been 0.63 g/ml. The mass in 25 ml has been:

[tex]\rm 0.63=\dfrac{mass}{25} \\mass=0.63\;\times\;25\;g\\mass=15.75\;g[/tex]

The mass of pentane in solution has been 15.75g.

The mass percent of pentane in the solution has been given as the mass divided by total volume of solution.

[tex]\rm Mass\%=\dfrac{15.75}{25\;+\;45}\;\times\;100 \\Mass\%=\dfrac{15.75}{70}\;\times\;100 \\Mass\%=22.5\%[/tex]

The mass percent of pentane has been 22.55%.

  • The mole fraction has been given as the moles of sample in the total moles of solution. The moles of sample have been derived from:

[tex]\rm Moles=\dfrac{mass}{molar\;mass}[/tex]

The mass of pentane has been 15.75 g. The moles of pentane have been given by:

[tex]\rm Moles\;pentane=\dfrac{15.75}{72.15} \\Moles\;pentane=0.218\;mol[/tex]

The moles of pentane in solution has been 0.218 mol.

The moles of hexane in solution has been given by first calculating the mass of hexane from density:

[tex]\rm 0.66=\dfrac{mass}{45} \\mass=0.66\;\times\;45\\mass=29.7\;g[/tex]

The mass of hexane has been 29.7 g. The moles of hexane have been calculated as:

[tex]\rm Moles\;hexane=\dfrac{29.7}{86.18}\\Moles\;hexane=0.344\mol[/tex]

The moles of hexane in solution has been 0.344 mol.

The total moles of the solution has been:

[tex]\rm Moles\;=0.218\;+\;0.344\\Moles=0.562[/tex]

The total moles of solution has been 0.562 moles.

The mole fraction of pentane has been:

[tex]\rm Mole\;fraction=\dfrac{0.218}{0.562}\\Mole\;fraction=0.387[/tex]

The mole fraction of pentane has been 0.387.

  • The molality has been given as moles of solute in a kg of solution. The mass of solution has been:

[tex]\rm Mass\;solution=29.7\;+\;15.75\;g\\Mass\;solution=45.45\;g\\Mass\;solution=0.045\;kg[/tex]

The molality (m) of pentane in the solution has been:

[tex]m=\rm \dfrac{moles\;solute}{mass\;solvent}[/tex]

Substituting the value for molality of pentane:

[tex]\textit m=\rm \dfrac{0.218}{0.0297\;kg\;hexane}\\\textit m= 7.34\;m[/tex]

The molality of pentane has been 7.34 m.

  • The molarity of solution has been moles of solute in a liter of solution. The molarity has been expressed as:

[tex]M=\rm \dfrac{moles\;solute}{Volume\;solution\;(L)}[/tex]

Substituting the value for molarity of pentane:

[tex]M=\dfrac{0.218}{0.07}\\M=3.11\;\rm M[/tex]

The molarity of pentane in the solution has been 3.11 M.
