Define the following terms:
Mole fraction 

Solution
Answer: 
mole fraction can be defined as :

Mole fraction of a component =


Number of moles of the componentTotal number of moles of all the components 


 for example
Mole fraction. The ratio of the moles of a component A to the total moles of the solution is called the mole fraction of A. It is denoted by symbol x. For a binary solution of components A and B Mole fraction of A = x
A
= Moles of ATotal moles of solution  = nAnA+nB

Mole fraction of  B = xB
    =Moles of BTotal moles of solution= nBnA+nB
