Can I please get some Chemistry help?

A student prepares a solution by dissolving 30.0 grams of urea (CON2H4, 60.056 g/mol) in 36.0 grams of water. What is the mole fraction of water in this solution?

Katrin369:

Ok, try this, I used different numbers so that you can actually try it. Two solutions containing 7.5 grams of urea (CON2H4), and 42.75 grams of a substance X, respectively, in 100 g of hexane, are frozen at the same temperature. Calculate the molecular weight of X. Mm urea = 60.05 g / mol 1. calculate moles of urea n = m / Mm n = 7.5 g / 60.05 g / mol n = 0.1249 mol of urea 2. calculate mm of X Mm = m / n Mm = 42.75 g / 0.1249 mol Mm = 342.2 g / mol P.S, I had a question like thisand I found this this so I just copy nad pasted this.

Katrin369:

Hope this helps.

Katrin369:

Have a nice day.

kamachavis:

Katrin, I got 0.014 ,

AZ:

mhmm that's not right. Can you show your work and perhaps we can see where you went wrong :) Mole fraction = moles solvent / moles of solution

AZ:

So first find the moles of water Then the moles of urea mole fraction of water = moles of water / (moles of water + moles of urea)

kamachavis:

I did 30/60.056/36
