Detailed Solution

Vapour pressure of water p°=760 torr


Number of moles of glucose
= Mas (g) Molecular mass (gmo
=18 g180 g mol-1=0.1

We know that the value is 18 g/mol for molar mass of water
Water mass (given) = 178.2 g
number of water moles

= Mass of water  Molar mass of water =178.218 g=9.9 mol

Total moles = (0.1 + 9.9) = 10 moles
The mole fraction of glucose in solution is now equal to the pressure change in relation to the initial pressure.
i.e. ΔpΔp0=0.110
or Δp=0.01p0=0.01×760=7.6 torr

Consequently, the solution's vapour pressure is (760-7.6) torr.

=752.4 torr

hence, the correct answer 752.4 torr.
