Answer

Mass fraction= 0.0284 Weight percent= 2.84%

Work Step by Step

Mass of benzene= $density\times volume$ $=0.877\,g/mL\times4.00\,mL=3.508\,g$ Mass fraction of benzene= $\frac{mass\, of\, benzene}{mass\,of\, benzene+mass\,of \,diethyl\,ether}=\frac{3.508\,g}{3.508\,g+120.\,g}=0.0284$ Weight percent= mass fraction$\times 100\%$ $=2.84\%$
