    The mole fraction of hydrochloric acid in the solution is 0,09

    Explanation:

    Mole fraction can it be for solvent, or solute. (In this case, HCl is solute)

    Mole fraction solute = moles from solute / moles from solute + moles from solvent

    We only have moles from solute which are 5,54 but as we have 1 kg of water we can know the moles from solvent.

    Molar mass for water: 18 g/m

    1 kg H2O = 1000 g

    1000 g / |8 g/m = 55,5 moles from solvent

    Mole fraction solute = moles from solute / moles from solute + moles from solvent

    Mole fraction solute = 5,54 / 5,54 + 55,5 = 0,090
