Question

If mole fraction of a solute in a binary solution is 0.3, what could be the solvent in the solution

Answer 1

The mole fraction of solute is: moles of solute divided by total moles of solute and solvent. The symbol for the mole fraction is the lower-case Greek letter chi, χ. You will often see it with a subscript: χsolute is an example. Example #1: 0.100 mole of NaCl is dissolved into 100.0 grams of pure H2O
