A 1.00 m aqueous solution means that 1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg (1000 g) of the solvent (water) .
Number of moles of solute (n2) = 1 mol.
Molar mass of water (H2O) = 18 g mol−1 .
Number of moles of solvent (water), n1=Molar mass of waterMass of water=18 g mol−11000 g=55.55 mol .
The mole fraction of the solute (x2) is given by the formula:
x2=n1+n2n2 .
Substituting the values:
x2=1+55.551=56.551=0.01768≈0.0177 .
