Answer

See the answer below.

Work Step by Step

The number of moles of Na2CO3: $0.200\ m=n/(125/1000\ kg)\rightarrow n=0.025\ mol$ The mass of Na2CO3 required: $0.025\ mol\times 105.99\ g/mol=2.65\ g$ The number of moles of water: $125\ g\div18.015\ g/mol=6.94\ mol$ Mole fraction of Na2CO3: $0.025\div(0.025+6.94)=0.0036$
