Answer:

Mole fraction of solute (heptane) → 0.73

Explanation:

Mole fraction = Moles of solute or solvent / Total moles

Let's calculate the moles of everything:

Moles of solute → Mass of solute / Molar mass

36 g / 100 g/mol = 0.36 moles

Moles of solvent → Mass of solvent / Molar mass

16 g / 119.35 g/mol = 0.134 moles

Total moles = 0.36 + 0.134 = 0.494 moles

Mole fraction of solute = 0.36 / 0.494 → 0.73
