What is the mole fraction of a solute in a solution with 20 moles of water and 15 moles of salt? please help ill give a medal

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

It will simply be the mole of solute over the total mole of the solution

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

I don't understand what the mole of the solute is in this situation

OpenStudy (emilyjones284):

ohhhhh salt over total?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Solute is what substance you want to dissolve, solvent is what you dissolve in. Solution is the combination of both solute and solvent. So yes, salt over total.
