A very dilute solution is prepared by dissolving 'x1' mole of solute in 'x2' mole of a solvent. The mole fraction of solute is approximately equal to_________________?

Correct answer: A. x1/x2

  • A. x1/x2
  • B. x2/x1
  • C. 1 - (x1/x2)
  • D. 1/x2

Explanation

The exact mole fraction is x1/(x1 + x2). Since the solution is very dilute, x1 is negligible compared with x2, giving approximately x1/x2.
