what is mole fraction??
Answers
mole fraction is the ratio of number of moles of a particular element to ratio of total no of moles.
hope this helps u.
Answer:
Mole fraction is a unit of concentration, defined to be equal to the number of moles of a component divided by the total number of moles of a solution. Because it is a ratio, mole fraction is a unitless expression.
Explanation:
Mole Fraction Example
In a solution of 1 mol benzene, 2 mol carbon tetrachloride, and 7 mol acetone, the mole fraction of the acetone is 0.7. This is determined by adding up the number of moles of acetone in the solution and dividing the value by the total number of moles of components of the solution:
Number of Moles of Acetone: 7 moles
Total Number of Moles in Solution = 1 moles (benzene) + 2 moles (carbon tetrachloride) + 7 moles (acetone)
Total Number of Moles in Solutions = 10 moles
Mole Fraction of Acetone = moles acetone / total moles solution
Mole Fraction of Acetone = 7/10
Mole Fraction of Acetone = 0.7
Similarly, the mole fraction of benzene would be 1/10 or 0.1 and the mole fraction of carbon tetrachloride would be 2/10 or 0.2.
