As we learnt in

 

Mole Fraction -

It is ratio of moles of solute or moles of solvent to moles of solution.

- wherein

If a substance ‘A’ dissolves in substance ‘B’ and their number of moles are n_{A} and n_{B} respectively; then the mole fractions of A and B are given as

Mole fraction of A = (number of moles of A)/(number of moles of solution ) = n_{A}/(n_{A}+ n_{B})

 

 

 

Moles of A = 5

Moles of B = 6 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 20

\therefore mole fraction = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25


Option 1)

0.20

Option 2)

0.50

Option 3)

0.33

Option 4)

0.25
