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:
  1. nCnA×nB×nC
  2. nCnA+nB+nC
  3. nCnA-nB-nC
  4. nBnA+nB

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 compnentTotal number of moles of all the components
Suppose we have a mixture with 3 components A, B and C.

Mole fraction of C=nCnA+nB+nC

Hence, the answer is option B.
