NH3 Molecular Weight  17.031

Number of moles in 30 g:    = 1.76149.


H2O Molecular Weight  18.01528

Number of moles in 70 g:    = 3.88559.


The mole fraction (the answer to the problem's question) is   = 0.31193 (rounded).

Solved, answered and explained.

The post-solution note: the given density of the solution 0.982 g/mL is EXCESSIVE, NON-NECESSARY and IRRELEVANT.
