A sample of lead glass is prepared by melting together 20.0g silica , SiO2 and 80.0g of lead (II) oxide, PbO. What is the mole fraction of SiO2 in the glass?

Sagot :

The mole fraction of SiO₂ in the glass : = 0.482

Further explanation

The mole fraction shows the mole ratio of a substance to the mole of solution /mixture  

Can be formulated :

xa = na/(na+nb)

Find the moles of each component

SiO₂ :

= 20 g : 60,08 g/mol

= 0.333

PbO :

= 80 : 223,2 g/mol

= 0.358

Mol total :

= 0.333 + 0.358

= 0.691

Mol fraction of SiO₂ :

= 0.333/0.691

= 0.482
