Detailed Solution

For 1 L of vodka, we have n2=6.5mol and V=1000cm3

Mass of solution, m=Vρ=1000cm30.95gcm3=950g

Mass of ethanol, m2=n2M2=(6.5mol)46gmol1=299g

Mass of water m1=mm2=950g299g=651g

Amount of water, n1=m1M1=651g18gmol1=36.167mol

Amount fraction of ethanol, x2=n2n1+n2=6.5(36.167+6.5)=0.152.
