Understanding Mole Fractions

What is a Mole Fraction?

A mole fraction (X) represents the ratio of moles of a particular component to the total moles of all components in a mixture. It's a fundamental concept in chemistry that helps understand solution composition.

The Formula

XA = nA / (nA + nB)

Where:
XA = mole fraction of component A
nA = number of moles of component A
nB = number of moles of component B

Key Properties

  • Mole fractions are dimensionless
  • The sum of all mole fractions in a mixture equals 1
  • Values always range between 0 and 1
  • Used in various chemical calculations including Raoult's law
