Expert Solution

Step 1

Given in question that , molar mass of solute is 145.43 g/mol. Also given that mass percentage of solution is 45.4% , it means that if solution has 100 g of total weight the mass of solute is 45.4 g and solvent , water has mass of (100-45.4) = 54.6 g.

Moles of any component can be calculated by using following formula -

Moles = mass /molar mass

While mole fraction of any component can be calculated by using Following formula -

Mole fraction of the component = moles of that component/ total number of moles of all components present in solution
