The mole fraction of any solution refers to the moles of solute divided by the sum of the moles of solute and moles of solvent.

The mole fraction of a solute is the ratio of the number of moles of that solute to the total number of moles of the solution.

mole fraction of A = moles of A / total number of moles.
