To determine the molarity of an aqueous solution with a given mole fraction, we need additional information about the solute. The mole fraction alone is not sufficient to calculate the molarity.
The mole fraction (X) of a component in a solution is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of that component to the total number of moles of all components in the solution.
Mathematically, the mole fraction (X) is given by:
X = moles of component / total moles of all components
To calculate the molarity (M) of a solution, we need to know the number of moles of solute and the volume of the solution in liters.
Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Therefore, we require the number of moles of solute to determine the molarity accurately.
