Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the masses of solute and solvent

We have a 15.7% by mass nitric acid solution, that is, there are 15.7 g of nitric acid (solute) per 100 g of solution. The mass of water (solvent) is:

m(solution) = m(solute) + m(solvent)

m(solvent) = m(solution) - m(solute)

m(solvent) = 100 g - 15.7 g = 84.3 g

Step 2: Calculate the moles of nitric acid

The molar mass of nitric acid is 63.01 g/mol.

15.7 g × (1 mol/63.01 g) = 0.249 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of water

The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol.

84.3 g × (1 mol/18.02 g) = 4.68 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mole fraction of nitric acid

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
