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

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
