Calculation Breakdown

  1. Add every amount3 + 7 = 10 molntotal=∑inin_{\text{total}} = \sum_i n_i
  2. Divide component 1 by the total3 mol ÷ 10 mol = 0.300000xi=nintotalx_i = \dfrac{n_i}{n_{\text{total}}}

What Is the Mole Fraction Calculator?

Mole fraction expresses the proportion of a mixture made up by one component.

How Does the Mole Fraction Calculator Work?

It divides a component’s moles by the sum of all components’ moles.

Mole Fraction Calculator Formula & Variables

The core mathematical equation utilized by this calculator is expressed as:

xi=ni∑nix_i = \dfrac{n_i}{\sum n_i}

Each mole fraction is its component amount divided by the total of all component amounts.

How to Use the Mole Fraction Calculator

  1. Enter the amount for each component and choose which to analyse.

Step-by-Step Example Calculation
