a 95 mass percent solution of ethanol is further diluted with water if the mole fraction of ethanol in dillute solution is 0.25 what is the mole fraction of water in the dilute solution is it still an ideal solution dude what is going on in this question

ye so do this assume 100g soln 95 gram ethanol then 5g water calculate moles for both now moles of ethanol will remain same on dilutio calc new moles of water for 0.25 ethanol wait wtf molefraction of water in dilution shouldnt it be 0.75

but like how do i calculate that
Gamertug
Gamertug•2mo ago
whats the ans
Sephrina

i dont know its a assignment question
Gamertug

wait ans is in last part only but i dont think this is what they inteded to ask as per the question u typed mole fraction of ethanol + mf of water = 1 so mf of water in dilute soln = 0.75 i assume they wanted to know mf of water before dilution but ye as it is ans should 0.75

but like then why is the first part given
Gamertug
Gamertug•2mo ago
thats why i said this is not what they inteded to ask i think
Sephrina

and the question is it still ideal
Gamertug
Gamertug•2mo ago
pretty sure its still ideal its facts based u have to learn
Sephrina
SephrinaOP•2mo ago
yh although im not sure the ans is .75
Gamertug
Gamertug•2mo ago
acc to the question u typed it is 0.75
Sephrina
SephrinaOP•2mo ago
uhh leme see if the answer is given in the book cuz some questions had answer is given solution is not ideal
Gamertug
Gamertug•2mo ago
ic i was wrong regardless of ideal or no moles wont change only volume changes so ans should be still 0.75
Sephrina
SephrinaOP•2mo ago
so mole frac of water is .75 but how is not ideal anymore?

Ethanol water is non ideal

then yeah ok so like we just have to use Xa + Xb = 1 in this and get answer ok thnks +solved @Gamertug @iTeachChem
