You want to prepare an aqueous solution of glycerol, C3H5(OH)3  in which the mole fraction of the solute is 0.093. What mass of glycerol must you add to 425 g of water to make the solution? What is the molality of the solution? What is the weight percent?

 

Mole Fraction of Solvent:

 

1.000 moles solution – 0.093 moles GLY solute = 0.907 mole H2O solvent
