Question
Explain the term mole fraction.

Solution
Mole fraction is the ratio of the number of moles of a particular component of a solution to the total number of moles of the solution.
If a substance ‘A’ dissolves in substance ‘B’ and their number of moles are nA and nB, respectively, then the mole fractions of A and B are given as:
Mole fraction of A = `"Number of moles of A"/ "Number of moles of solution"`
= `n_A/(n_A + n_B)`
Mole fraction of B = `"Number of moles of B"/ "Number of moles of solution"`
= `n_B/(n_A + n_B)`
