Definition of mole Fraction

If a solution has more than one solutes, the mole fraction can help to find the ratio in which all solutes are present. Mole fraction has no unit as it is a ratio.

What is a solute?

A solute is that substance which is present in a lesser quantity in a solution.

For example, if we mix one spoon of NaCl in a glass of water then NaCL is solute in this case.

What is the solvent?

The substance which is present in major quantity in a solution is called the solvent. In the above-mentioned example, water is solvent.
