Solution Set 5
This gives the molar fraction solubility of lead in bismuth. Solubility can also be calculated in terms moles of lead

The mole fraction of lead χ
is related to moles by

and this can be solved for n
to gets moles of lead in terms of mole fraction of lead and moles of bismuth.

As you can see, the mass fraction of lead w
and the mole fraction of lead χ
are quite similar in this problem. This
