I wish to have more interactive session of Mole Concepts - Molarity, Molality, Mole Fraction and Limiting reagents and the relation between them. I could not understand clearly from the study material available. I want to solve a problem also in this.Question:Calculate the Molarity of a solution of Ethanol in water, in which the mole fraction of Etanol is 0.040?Please send me the solution

molarity M= (WB/WA)*1000/V
mole fraction of C2H5OH= 0.040
molar wt. of ethanol= 46gm
wt. of ethanol in 1 mole of soln= 46*0.04=1.84
mole fraction of water= 0.960
molar wt. of water= 18gm
wt. of water in 1 mole of solution=17.28
Volume of solution= 1.84+17.28= 19.12ml (1gm=1ml)
therefore,
M= (1.84/17.28)*1000/0.01921
=0.00556 M thank you

it should be 19.12 not 0.01912 as we are taking it in ml not in litres therefore on calculation answer should
M= (1.84/17.28)*1000/19,12 = 5.56 M
hope i am correct
