Mole Fraction Numerical | Mole Concept | JEE Mains PYQ
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)

Step 2: Total number of moles in solution

Total moles = nA + nB + nC

Step 3: Mole fraction of C

Mole fraction of C = nC / (nA + nB + nC)

Correct Option: C
