A liquid mixture of O2, CH4 and CO has the composition 32% O2, 16% CH4 and 52% CO, then what is the mole fraction of CH4?

Correct Answer: 0.2
Let the total weight of the mixture be 100 g, => weight of each component are 32 g, 16 g and 52 g respectively, => moles of O2 = 32/16 = 2, moles of CH4 = 16/16 = 1, moles of CO = 52/26 = 2 g, => mole fraction of CH4 = 1/5 = 0.2.
