    Mole fraction of C₄H₄S = 0.55

    Explanation:

    Mole fraction is moles of solute / Total moles

    Total moles are the sum of moles of solute + moles of solvent.

    Let's find out the moles of our solute and our solvent.

    Mass of solute: 55g

    Mass of solvent: 65g

    Mol = Mass / molar mass

    55 g / 84.06 g/mol = 0.654 moles of C₄H₄S

    65 g / 123 g/mol = 0.529 moles of C₂H₃BrO

    Total moles = 0.654 + 0.529 = 1.183 moles

    Mole fraction of thiophene = Moles of tiophene / Total moles

    0.654 / 1.183 = 0.55
