Synonym: Mole fraction = Molar fraction
A ratio of amount of a given mixture component to the total amount of substance in the mixture:
x_k = \frac{\nu_k}{\sum_i \nu_i} = \frac{N_k}{\sum_i N_i} |
where
amount of substance of the -th mixture component | |
total amount of substance in the mixture | |
Avogadro constant | |
amount of molecules/atoms in the -th mixture component | |
As per definition the sum of all Mole fractions is strictly unit: .
Natural Science / Chemistry / Chemical Substance / Mixture
