Answer

.437,.563

Work Step by Step

Because the equation is asking for mole fraction, we need each of the masses of each component to be converted to moles. To find the mole fraction of the carbon tetrachloride, the solute, take the number of moles of carbon tetrachloride and divide that by the sum of the moles of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. To find the mole fraction of the chloroform, the SOLVENT, take the number of moles of chloroform, the SOLVENT, and divide that by the sum of the moles of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform.
