If a substance ' A ' dissolves in solution of a mixture of ' B ' and ' C ' with their respective number of moles as n A , n B and n C , mole fraction of C in the solution is:
Options
- An C n A × n B × n C
- Bn C n A + n B + n C
- Cn C n A - n B - n C
- Dn B n A + n B
Correct answer
B. n C n A + n B + n C
Step-by-step solution
Mole fraction is defined as the amount (number of moles or molecules) of a constituent or component divided by the total amount of all the constituent or component present. Mole fraction = Number of moles of compnent Total number of moles of all the components Suppose we have a mixture with 3 components A, B and C. Mole fraction of C = n C n A + n B + n C Hence, the answer is option B.
