As we learned in concept

Mole Fraction -

\dpi{100} Mole\: Fraction= \frac{Moles\: o\! f\: solute}{Moles\: o\! f solute+Moles\: o\! f solvent}

-

 

 molar mass of  ethylene glycol (C2H6O2)=62

100g of solution containing 10g of  C2H6O2  and 90g H2O.

moles\ of\ C_2H_6O_2 = \frac{10}{62}=0.161

moles\ of\ H_{2}O=\frac{90}{18}=5

Mole fraction of  ethylene glycol =\frac{0.161}{0.16145}

= 0.0312
