The mole fraction is a measure of the concentration of a component substance in a mixture of substances. It is defined as the number of moles of a component substance of a mixture divided by the total number of moles of the mixture. It may be expressed as:

$x_{\mathrm {a} }={\frac {n_{\mathrm {a} }}{n_{\mathrm {a} }+n_{\mathrm {b} }+n_{\mathrm {c} }\ldots }}={\frac {n_{\mathrm {a} }}{n_{\mathrm {total} }}}$

where:
$x_{\mathrm {a} }$	= the mole fraction of component $\mathrm {a}$ in the mixture
$n_{\mathrm {a} }$	= the number of moles of component $\mathrm {a}$ in the mixture
$n_{\mathrm {b} }$	= the number of moles of component $\mathrm {b}$ in the mixture
$n_{\mathrm {c} }$	= the number of moles of component $\mathrm {c}$ in the mixture
$n_{\mathrm {total} }$	= the total number of moles in the mixture
