80.0 grams of NaOH is dissolved in 3.0 moles of H20. What is the mole fraction of NaOH in this solution?
  1. .20
  2. .37
  3. .40
  4. .64
  5. .79
Explanation
Answer: .40

The mole fraction for a compound indicates (moles of given compund) / (total moles of system). In this question, there are two moles of NaOH and five total moles in the system. Thus, the mole fraction is expressed as 2/5, or .40.
