SUMMARY
The mole fraction of a 1.222 M solution of a compound in water, with a density of 1.3250 g/mL at 20 degrees Celsius and a molar mass of 97.80 g/mol, can be calculated using the formula for mole fraction. The solution involves determining the mass of the solute and solvent, followed by applying the mole fraction formula. The final mole fraction is derived from the ratio of moles of solute to the total moles of solute and solvent combined.
