Q. If a substance ‘A’ dissolves in solution of a mixture of ‘B’ and ‘C’
with their respective number of moles as nA, nB
and nC. Mole fraction of C in the solution is
A. nC / (nA × nB × nC)
B. nB / (nA + nB)
C. nC / (nA + nB + nC)
D. nC / (nA − nB)
Explanation
Step 1: Definition of mole fraction
Mole fraction of a component =
(Number of moles of that component) /
(Total number of moles present)
