Question

In a binary solution mole fraction of a component is 0.85 what is the mole fraction of the Other component

Answer 1

Answer:

Xa + Xb = 1

0.85 + Xb = 1

Xb = 0.15

Answer 2

Given - Mole fraction of one component = 0.85

Find - Mole fraction of other component

Solution - Mole fraction of components of solution is given by the relation -

Mole fraction of solute + mole fraction of solvent = 1

Now, keeping the given values to find the mole fraction of other component.

Mole fraction of other component = 1 - 0.85

Mole fraction of other component = 0.15

Hence, mole fraction of other component in the binary solution is 0.15.
