| Mole fraction of solute(XA) | |
| Mole fraction of solute(XB) |
Mole fraction calculator to find a mole fraction mixture of gas you get the instant value of the mole fraction of solute and solvent.
What is the mole fraction?
The mole fraction of a gas in a gas mixture is the number of moles of that gas divided by the total number of moles of all the gases in the mixture. A mole fraction is denoted by the symbol “χ” and is expressed as a decimal or a fraction.
The mole fraction is always less than one.
Mole fraction formula
The formula for calculating the mole fraction is as follows:
Mole fraction (χ) = Moles of Component / Total Moles of Mixture
- Mole fraction of solute(XA) = nA / nA + nB
- Mole fraction of solute(XB) = bB / nA + bB
- XA + BB = 1
How to calculate the mole fraction?
Example:- what is the mole fraction of o2 in a sample with 1.25 grams ch4, 45.2 g n2, and 13.4 g o2?
We first need to determine the number of moles of each component
- Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + 4 *1 = 16 g/mol
- Molar mass of N2 = 2*14 = 28 g/mol
- Molar mass of O2 = 2 *16 = 32 g/mol
The molar masses of CH4, N2, and O2 to convert the given masses into moles
- Number of moles of CH4 = 1.25 / 16 = 0.0781 mol
- Number of moles of N2 = 45.2 / 28 = 1.614 mol
- Number of moles O2 = 13.4 / 32 = 0.418 mol
- Total moles = moles of CH4 + moles of N2 + moles of O2
- Total moles = 0.0781 mol + 1.614 mol + 0.418 mol = 2.1101 mol
- Mole fraction of O2 = moles of O2 / total moles
- Mole fraction of O2 = 0.418 mol / 2.1101 mol ≈ 0.198
The mole fraction of O2 in the given example is approximately 0.198.
