Mole fraction usually lies in which range?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Between 0 and 1
Mole fraction is the ratio of the moles of one component to the total moles of all components: xᵢ = nᵢ/Σn. Since a component cannot have a negative amount or more moles than the total, its value is normally from 0 to 1. A pure component has mole fraction 1, while an absent component has 0; percentages are obtained by multiplying by 100.
