The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

No. of moles of glucose $= \frac{10}{180} = 0.0555 \,mol$ No. of moles of water $= \frac{90}{18} = 5\,mol$ Number of moles of solution $= 5.0555\, mol$ Mole fraction of glucose $=\frac{\text{No. of moles of glucose}}{\text{No. of moles of solution}}$ $= \frac{0.0555}{5.0555} = 0.01$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
