The vapor pressure of benzene is
73.03 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile,
nonelectrolyte that dissolves in benzene is
cholesterol.
Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution at 25 °C when
5.507 grams of cholesterol,
C27H46O
(386.6 g/mol), are dissolved in
205.6 grams of benzene.
benzene =
C6H6 =
78.12 g/mol.
VP(solution) = ____ mm Hg
